Tonight, we had a raccoon get into my duck pen. Killed a few, two are alive but with very bad injuries. One, has its top beak completely ripped off, leaving just the bottom and its tongue.
Does anyone know if it can survive? Or should we just end its suffering?? Please help
So... I'm unfamiliar with cross beak, but I think one of my chicks has it. It happens tobe my favorite chick too..... Ugh!
Her beak isn't shutting fully.

Is there any advice for maintaining a good beak shape? Or do I...
Hey so my Mang has some black spots on his beak. I don't think it's fowl pox , does it have something to do with his beak growing? Because it's also peeling I think.

My new leghorn pullet just had something that looks like a freaking tumor appear on the side of her beak over (I think) the past couple of days. I've included a close up photo. Very worried. Does anybody have any experience with something like this?
I’m not sure if I’m posting in right place. I noticed my little Silkie still has a lot of pin feathers with that white covering still partially on them. She has an extremely crooked beak , so she can’t preen herself. Her sister doesn’t have any feathers still like this. Their 8months old. I...
Beaks and Claws...every bird has them! Birds use their beaks for grooming, they explore their environment with their beaks, they can feel textures and temperatures with them, scratch in the dirt for bugs and dust bathing, preen their feathers, pick up objects such as food, nesting materials...
So i walked into my coop this afternoon and found blood spread all over and a broken beak on my show chicken. the blood looked like it had came from some bumblefoot that had broken open but somehow she got her beak broken, it looks like she can drink okay, its almost like she had it trimmed so...
This morning my 5 month old Barred Rock hen was showing signs of lethargy. She was sitting quietly in the corner of the pen. I thought maybe she was trying to lay an egg as she hasn't laid one yet. But then she started shaking her chest and neck like she was gagging. Then I noticed thick...
Poor old Edgar is four years old with a face you can love with a little effort. He has been messed up like this since his second summer of life when he was just over a year old. The moron insisted on getting into multiple fights with other roosters through wire of a pen. He nearly died...
Hi! I have (4) Brahma chicks that are almost 4 weeks old (will be on Wednesday). They all came from the same breeder. I have two lights and two darks. My Sunny has always been a bit smaller than the other three, with my other light Brahma being the biggest of all four chicks by a good bit. Sunny...
I have 5 indian runner ducks which all have lovely yellow beaks except for 3. The 2 oldest ducks (1year old) and drake have pale beaks and i was wondering is this typical for an indian runner or are they lacking a vitamin?
Also the drakes beak looks awful! He has not been fighting but his beak...
Hello, . I'm new here. I have a Rhode Island red hen that is about 9 years old.

A sea gull showed up in Culver City, CA, three days ago with a large growth above its bill (in front of its right eye).
It is near the bike path along La Ballona Creek (just west of Sepulveda Blvd and south of Lucerne Ave.).
Does it need to be treated?

My three-week-old Ameraucana chick's upper beak is unusually long and hooked. She seems to have no problem eating, but she wheezes sometimes. She also seems much stupider than our other chick and spends hours pecking at the wall.
I have read that Ameraucanas naturally have curved beaks, but...
