    Bump on pullet beak.

    I have a pullet that hatched in September. I’ve never had this. I just was wondering if anyone knows what this is or how to deal with it. It could just be her anatomy, but I’ve never had a hen with this. My concern is that she was injured through the fence when either an owl or raccoon came...

    Chipped beak with no blood- treat or will it heal?

    I’ve attached some pictures of an injury we just noticed on one of our chickens. I’ve already been browsing BYC for info on this, looks like it might be a good candidate for the tea bag repair method? But there’s no blood and the bird doesn’t appear to have any trouble eating, so maybe we leave...

    Bloody Hole in Beak - 4 week old

    Hi all, I searched and searched for the answer to this, and there doesn't seem to be any consensus on what can cause this. My 4-week-old Lavender Orpington developed a hole in its beak overnight. I've seen no signs of bullying by the other chicks. He doesn't seem interested in sticking his...

    SOS! Part of Chicken's Top Beak Fell Off Leaving Exposed Fleshy Underside

    Yesterday I believe my chicken Willow got her beak caught in hardware cloth and panicked. I heard a commotion, came out to see what happened, and she was standing there dazed, the first quarter or so of her top beak hanging by a fleshy thread. She bled a lot, so I took her to the vet. The vet...

    Upper Beak Broken Off

    Hi Y’all - I hate to be writing under such unfortunate circumstances, but encountered a sad situation with one of my silkies (female, I think!). She is 4 months old.

    My Duck has a cut on her beak!

    Hi there! I have three pekin ducks (ages 2mo, 1 mo, 1mo), and the largest one has what looks like a cut through multiple layers of her beak, as well as a bubble on the side. So far I have cleaned out the cut and applied Vetericyn, but I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas. She is drinking...

    Emergency! Beak incision

I’m still trying to figure out how this happened, I don’t have money for a vet so any ideas on how to treat this myself is appreciated. I thought...

    Hole in Beak?

    My little cockerel has a very strange hole in his beak? I have no idea how it could’ve gotten there but could this possibly be deadly? A long while ago it almost looked like his beak was “peeling” in that same spot so we sprayed it with vetricyn and let him back out. The day he received his...

    Old beak injury

    I have an 8 week old Light Brahma. I believe a rodent may have bitten her when she was about 4 weeks old. There was a mark on the top and a chunk out of her bottom beak. I have continued to watch it and it had healed with no issue. The beak has changed and now there is a noticeable pointed part...

    So my 5 year old Easter Egger was picked up by my mother about 2.5 ft. above the ground before she fidgeted and tumbled out of her arms, and landed on her back in the grass and rolled over onto her feet. I examined her face and neck area and she seemed perfectly fine - no signs of injury as far...

    Mushroom Like Growth on Beak?!

    Hey there, I have searched through the other posts about beak growths and just didn't see anything similar to what we are facing - so I'm posting here. Late this spring we purchased 3 Cuckoo Maran pullets from our local feed store. One of these pullets has developed a strange growth on her...

    Cut on beak

    when we were setting up the coop last night one of the chicks ran into the chicken wire and scraped the top of her beak. It doesn’t seem to bother her but it did bleed a little. Should I be concerned?
