    My Rooster’s beak is not smooth

    I just noticed half part of my chicken beak is not smooth and it looks like it’s peeling. Does this mean he has vitamin deficiency?? Thanks for the help in advance! 🙏🏼

    Underbite. Not debeaked. other different behavior from this one.

    Hey there, Waffle is a salmon favorelle, 9 weeksish and she kind of distances herself from the other four girls. Theyre about nine weeks old. Her underbite is particularly bad and this is after my husband filed it. It seems like she eats wet mash OK but I have yet to see her pick up a single...

    Swelling underneath beak

    Has anyone seen this before? This poor little pullet (she is almost 11 weeks old) has this large swollen area under her beak. She is eating and drinking normally, but I am so worried about her. Anyone know what this is and how I should treat her?

    Growths on beaks of month old Silkies. What could it be?

    Hi everyone, Our Silkies are a month old and we recently noticed some of them have growths on their beaks. I've tried to search online, but can't seem to find what it is. They seem to be eating/drinking OK, but since we're not experienced with chicken disease we want to learn whether there...

    Roosters touching each other's beaks

    I have caught my roosters doing this a few times. They put their beaks together and stand there for over 5 minutes. They don't make noise or show any aggression. It is winter in Michigan so I'm not sure if they are cold? Bonding? Sleeping? Has anyone seen this?

    Hen is having a hard time eating

    Hello, I have a hen that has been through ALOT in the past half year. She’s had worms, been rejected from her flock, and then attacked by a fox. Now she has a bacterial infection. She had stopped eating last week, so I took her to the vet. They gave me meds and told me to tube feed her. I did...

    SUPPLEMENT SUGGESTIONS

    I have a chicken that I feel is developing scissor beak. What is a good all around supplement that I can start incorporating in to their food?

    Opinions on beak needed!

    Can I ask your opinion on this beak? 🤔 It was not like this before. I know it's molting season & everything is out of whack, but is this a chip or something more serious? Is there anything I can do for him? Sorry about picture quality. I was trying to get every angle & he wasn't having it! 😅

    Broken Beak

    I walked into my backyard to find one of my hens fighting with a small mouse. From what I saw, my hen was winning and the mouse disappeared. But looking closer I saw blood in my hens mouth and assumed it wasn’t hers. But as you can see in the picture she seemed to have broke her beak while...

    Beak trimmed too much?

    My stepsister bought 9 chickens all with an extremely short beak. The fox killed 8 so I got the remaining chicken to put with my 3 pet chickens. This chicken loves corn but is unable to eat it off the cob after I cooked it. All my chickens eat corn off the cob. I also gave them cucumber another...

    Scab on my roosters beak

    This is the first time I have seen this in my flock. My roosters beak is dry and has this scab on it. None of the others in his flock have it. It does not appear to bother him. He has minimal dry skin and feather loss on his neck, too. Any ideas what it could be and how should I treat it? Thanks!

    Should I be worried about my chicken's beak?

    First time chicken owner. This girl here is 5 months old and I don't spend a lot of time with them bc of work and school but while giving them treats I noticed something odd about her beak. She eats/drinks/scavenges just fine. As far as I've witnessed, there's never been fighting or aggression...

    Bloody broken beak…

    Came outside this morning and three of my girls have bloody or broken weeks. I’m assuming they were trying to get something on the other side of the fence, what can I do? Should I separate them so they don’t get picked? Thank you!!

    Little shell (?) on tip of beak

    Hi! This might be a silly question. Quick background: I'm a (very) new hen mom and have been doing all the research and right (to me!) things. Anyway, picked up my little baby banties today from the post office--legit drove like Cruella DeVille to get them, I was so excited--and so far everyone...
