So first of all im from Chile (sorry for the english) and its kinda hard to find a vet that can help birds/chickens over here and the one that i found told me that there nothing i can do and the only thing she can do is euthanasia... But my family and i dont want to do that so im looking for...
One of our new Americana pullets seems to have injured her beak. They were just introduced to the coop last night after a few days of being caged nearby. All of our chickens are free range. The flock went out to graze and the 4 pullets stayed in the coop. Anything I can do outside of separation...
My 17-week old Orpingtons got rowdy in their range the other day and somehow this one's beak got injured. She was bleeding so I separated her and worked to clean her up, but now could use some input. The picture here isn't super clear, but the edge of her beak there near her face is pulled back...
Hi Y’all - I hate to be writing under such unfortunate circumstances, but encountered a sad situation with one of my silkies (female, I think!). She is 4 months old.
I opened the run in the morning and she popped out appearing with absolutely no upper beak - only a sliver on the right side. Her...
Bertha broke her beak today! In a matter of a few hours she went from being totally ok to this. There was nothing hanging off in order to do a repair. The blood is extremely fresh, almost as if it happened just before I walked in the door. I currently have her isolated in a dog crate in the...
Good evening fellow chicken raising people 🙂. New to the group. I have been looking for some answers to my questions. I have been reading everything about baby chicks but I haven't been able to find anything about baby chicks breaking their beaks. They are about 2 weeks old. I'm worried. They...
My hen was tugging on some metal object sticking out of the ground very hard when she got spooked and yanked herself back, tearing the whole top portion ( just the fingernail part of you will) directly from the skin. At first it was flipped up all the way like a car hood, but she let me set it...
My silkie chicken, Zelda, cracked her beak. I believe she was startled by something and ran into the wire of the coop.
She seems to be eating and drinking okay though she has some difficulty picking up larger pieces of food. Like usually she’s quite aggressive when taking corn from my hand but...
Yesterday I noticed he had a crack and the tip was a little loose when I touched it, I kind of left it alone thinking maybe it would stay on if I just left it alone. I was thinking of putting super glue on it but he was too wiggly to let me do anything to him. Now today I saw the peice broke...
It's a blue silkie hen who has had crooked beak her whole life and has been just fine. Shes almost a year old. I woke up this morning and went out to go let the birds out and somehow her bottom beak looked like it was missing I took a closer look and her beak isnt gone, it looks like her jaw...
Chickens comb is partially torn off and bleeding. The top part of her beak tip is broken and bleeding. I just brought the chicken in the garage, cleaned off her comb with a warm wet cloth, applied a mixture of silver gel, anitibiotic ointment, and coconut oil to the comb and the broken beak tip...
hello everyone, today I went out to feed the chickens. We just had our first big snow, and for most of the chickens, it will be their first winter. Some of the girls finally came out of the coop today since it’s nicer weather and of course, they get very excited when treats and feed comes...
Last night when feeding the flock I noticed that one of the hens, a bantam and everyone's favorite , had a severely broken beak. It is almost sideways and you can see some type of bone sticking out in the picture. We separated her and she seems to be able to eat and drink but I am wondering if I...
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...
So, I noticed this today:
No idea when or how she managed it.
It looks like the top layer of her beak chipped and split. She doesn't seem bothered by this and is eating and acting normally. Is this normal?? Should I do something or will it take care of itself?
1 of my roosters looks like he got into a fight with something, his beak is broken, one of his wings are injured , and one of his feet are bloody.
I noticed last night that his foot was a little bloody, but I didn't notice anything else, until a little bit ago when feeding them.
Is there...
Hi All,
We had a rooster mishap and two bantams beat the heck out of a normal roo. We saved his sorry butt and tube fed him and cared for him until one of his eyes “returned”. He didn’t do too badly for about 10 months but a bantam got loose and teased him, resulting in his fighting the bantam...
Came home and let the flock out of the run to roam about the yard and noticed that something wasn't right with our cockerel's beak; apparently, he somehow broke it. He's more than willing to eat and drink, but is hesitant about it because I'm pretty sure it hurts him (back to the quick), on top...
I have new chicks that are about 4 weeks old and one that is about a year. The chicks are in a closed in area with chicken wire so the older one can see them but doesn't have access to them yet. However, 2 days ago it seems she got a hold of one of the chicks by the beak through the chicken wire...
