    Silkie rooster beak is broken

    My 7mo old rooster had a long beak and i had an appointment for a few weeks from now to have it trimmed at the vet. Today he got it caught on the hardware cloth and broke the tip off. The core quick is exposed. It was bleeding for a bit. Not a heavy flow of blood but it was bleeding. He’s acting...

    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...

    Broken beak

    My 16 week old chicken has a broken part of her beak. She’s a silver laced Wyandotte and she has a twin except the only difference is their sizes. I don’t know if her being smaller was happening before or after she broke her beak. I was wondering if anyone who knows more about this kind of...

    Duck bill repair

    I will come back to add more, edit and post photos soon, but wanted to share a duck bill repair tactic we devised that seems to be working, just in case anyone else has a similar emergency and is looking for ideas straight away. As always, this worked for us, but might not work for you, or I...

    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 bottom beak can’t eat!! Duck -

    Hello all, I am in a desperate situation. There is a wild mallard with a heavily broken beak. She also has a duckling, which is why I haven’t taken her to the vets or contacted the wildlife centre as I think catching both will be beyond impossible and extremely distressing. Plus I think they...

    A few days ago, the tip of our cockerel’s upper beak broke off and fortunately he is getting better. I am starting this post because I don’t think I found a post documenting the healing process of a broken beak. Hope it helps. Actually we haven't done any special treatment but providing soft...

    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...

    Injured beak? With photos

    Hello, My fairly young & generally healthy looking EE hen looks to have injured her beak somehow this morning. The dried blood doesn’t seem to be coming from the nostrils (obviously I’m paranoid that it’s a symptom of a respiratory disease) so is it safe to assume that she’s just banged...

    Orpington with Beak Injuries

    When I was out with the hens as they were free ranging tonight I noticed the ones beak looked off. I grabbed her to get a closer look and the tip is broke and there is some black buildup towards base of beak. Black buildup may just be dirt from pecking around yard and run. Is this cause for...

    Split beak

    We have a fox that is determined to have chicken dinner. I corral the flock before dusk to keep them safer from foxes (with one nearly fatal mistake two nights ago, described in my introduction). Tonight the fox was clawing at the hardware cloth around the run. These chickens are feisty! Two...

    Broken beak, help!

    I can't find any local vets and all the repairs I keep reading require super glue which I don't have until I can go to the store later. Should I just clean it for now? I have some medical tape. Should I put a small strip of tape on it? Help!

    First time chicken owner here. When I was letting my chickens out this morning I noticed one of my little girls is missing the tip of her beak 🥺 I know it’s probably not a huge issue as I’ve read they will grow back… But is there anything I need to do? Should I watch for anything? Will this...
