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...
Hello, my male goose has a problem sticking his nose where it doesnt belong. Like through the chain linked fence to taunt my dog. They usually banter back and forth harmlessly but today our 9 yr old boy was trying to shoo the goose away from the fence and inadvertently escalated the situation...
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 Olive Egger girl sustained a beak injury today and I've never had such a problem. Would love some advice on what I should do versus not do, Etc. I'm in the process of fermenting her some feed so it softer and easier to consume. This just happened about an hour ago and she hasn't eaten yet but...
Hi all, we just noticed that our RIR ("Willow") has a cracked and chipped beak (two different spots). It's hard to capture but she had a crack down the side and a little chunk taken out at the top. It looks like it had been bleeding pretty good, since her beak was caked in old blood (and at that...

I have three hens that seem to get along quite fine, but I noticed one of my hens had a injured beak. The tip is cracked and the top of it was hit hard enough it bled and clotted. It seems like it could have happened a couple days ago. She is eating and drinking fine but I want to know if...
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...
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?
My hen, Rosie is a silver laced Wyandotte and somehow tore almost all her comb off and freaked out and cracked her beak, now it fell off. I’m worried about her comb it’s turning black but is still bleeding a little.
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...
One of my hens has a bad gash about 4 inches long and 3 inches wide at the most. We ordered a hen apron but want to clean out the wound before we put it on. We used blue kote but she is still open and have tried Neosporin and Hydrin peroxide to keep it from being infected. It looks bad and...
I was checking on my Birds this morning and I noticed one of my Barred Rock's has a chunk missing out of her beak. She seems otherwise fine with no change in behavior, but I'm still worried. Is there anything I can do or will she be fine?

I have an 8 wk old auracana chick who all of a sudden has what looks like a dislocated bottom beak. I don't remember ever seeing it before. I think she may have gotten it caught in the fencing? I don't know what to do. Does anyone have suggestions? There are no vets anywhere close to me who deal...
I just found my girl with a scrap to her beak. It is her top portion under her right nostril. There is a portion of the hard beak stuff (no idea what the right term for that is, sorry) that is actually broken off and is hanging there. There is really no blood...I just see red on her beak where...
