    Cracked but still attached beak - any cures?

    Just noticed one of my hens has a cracked beak. She's foraging, eating, laying like normal but it really doesn't look great. Would I be crazy to superglue the top part to give it some more stability? Does this indicate a nutritional problem or was it likely just an accident?

One night, we heard a ruckus and blasted into the...

    What's on Chesta's Beak?!

    Background info: Chesta is a 1 year old serama mix. She has always had a reddish spot on her beak, but I thought it was nothing but a genetic flaw. On Sunday I noticed that she had a black scab on her beak. I also noticed that she would sometimes flick her head, as if she could feel it. I...
