    Chiped beak

    I have a 7week old golden comet hen that has a chiped beak that was bleeding. This looks minor compared to the other ones I've seen here but I haven't found anything like this one. Is there anything I can do? I plan on spraying it with vetricin one more time an putting some nealsporn on there...

    Broken jaw

    My poor ten week old Marmalade (aka Wonky Beak) was our special chic, head of security we used to say. Always hugely adventurous. Friendly and sweet, loved you fussy and stoking her. We first noticed her beak being crossed when she was about four weeks. I’d had a crossed beak chicken before so...

    Update on twisted beak

    Hello people! here’s an update on my poor girl. Optimus’ beak is now swollen and looks as if her jaw is further unaligned. She’s still eating and drinking but like I said before, she can’t rip apart food very well. I have had an incident before with bee where her beak became swollen and I...

    possibly dislocated quail jaw

    Hello, I’m new to this website but I’m looking for advice. My Japanese quail recently injured her beak. Her jaw is slightly twisted which has made it difficult and painful for her to rip apart food. Thankfully she CAN eat and drink. So I kept her inside for two days to keep a close eye on her...

    Beak Trims

    Hello 👋 Can anyone give some advice for trimming beaks? I've had chickens for years, but this is the first time I've ever had one with a bit of an underbite. She seems to get along fine, I just don't want it to become advanced to where it affects her well being. TIA!

    What turns a goose beak yellow?

    I’m receiving conflicting information and I’m honestly confused. A normal Toulouse goose’s beak should be orange, persimmon seems to be the exact shade mine generally have. I’ve read that if their bill turns yellow it’s a sign of jaundice, like in chickens when their comb turns yellow. But...

    Bottom jaw ajar

    I have had many a chicken, but this is a new one on me. I got 40 chicks and they all seemed normal and healthy. Then in about 2 weeks I noticed one of my Americanas bottom jaw was slightly ajar from the other one. I picked her up and moved it around and back under the beak but it just went back...

    Chicken with cross beak

    I just got some more chickens today and I noticed that one of them can't close her beak completely. She's younger than a year old. Do you think she will be okay since she's lived this long or is there a possibility that it could get worse? Does she need special help at all? This isn't her but...

    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...

    Pekin duck beaks

    Someone I know got Pekin ducks a while ago, and I noticed that their ducks have differently shaped beaks. Their ducks beak shape(photo is not of their duck): My ducks beak shape: Are these both normal Pekin duck beaks?

    Hooked Beak?

    Hello, anyone tell me if this beak is hooked? She is a new addition to the flock and seems a little longer than our other bantams. She can eat greens well but not sure about seed and grit. Is it too long and should I trim? Thankyou!

    Goose with underbite

    Yes I know the emoji is a swan. There's no goose! Matilda Jane , my 3ish month old embden goose seems to be developing a big underbite and a slight crossbill. I didn't notice any deformity at all when I got her, but it seems to be getting worse. Anyone else experience this? Is there a...

    Color: comb, wattle, beak, shanks

    I have lavender orpington- bought from one of those famous bins at TSC. She's friendly and acts healthy. She's nowhere near the bottom of the pecking order, absolutely no signs of distress. One thing sets her apart from the other birds- her comb color. It's grey. Her comb is grey. Her beak is...

    Beak problem? (Pictures included)

    I have an 18 week old lavender Orpington that seems to have a beak issue. I noticed it this morning not sure if it’s anything I should treat or worry about... not sure if one of my older girls got her yesterday before they went up last night? I have two flocks of hens who have separate coops and...

    Not an Emergency--Cut on Beak

    Today I noticed a shallow cut on my Buff Orpington's beak. It is near the nostrils but does NOT interfere with them or cause her any apparent discomfort or difficulty breathing. Not bleeding. It appears that she cut it while trying to get a bug throught the wire of her run as I've seen her do...

    Beak deformity?

    So, I was holding my little silkie chick and then I noticed that her beak was curving to the side a bit... She is a little over 3 weeks old. Her bottom beak and top beak are aligned right so... What's going on? Sorry, not very good pictures.
