I don't know how deep your girls break goes but I had a cross-beak girl who partially broke off part of her beak and it bled like crazy. I was going to cut off the hanging-by-a-thread-piece-of-beak but by the time I gathered stuff, it had fallen off in her quarantine pen. In quarantine a few days and then back to flock. She is fine now (months later) and she is still cross-beak.

Her’s bled like crazy too! We went to repair it like I had read on another thread but by the time we did that, it broke off completely and she won’t let us take her away from her flock. Chased her all over the run then she jumped into her coop and hid in a corner where I can’t reach! I was able to spray Vetericyn on the beak, since it’s a spray, but that’s about it.

Should I fight with her to take her away from her flock?

The flock she argues with are three laying hens while she is in a flock of four. Her being the top hen and our best layer.

Vetricyn seems good to me, that's what I would use. I would keep an eye to make sure she's not bleeding (which attracts others to peck at her) and use the spray to keep it disinfected as well as you can.

If you have a net to catch her next time (if you need to separate her due to bleeding) that helps (but it could also snag on her beak). Or maybe a towel without loops to catch on it.

EDIT-- I've researched the Vetricyn chemical and it's very mild but effective so from my own research (please research it for yourself) I've decided it's safe to spray even on skin or face. It's also found in other packaging and you can even make it using a machine since the chemical is not stable for long periods of time.

It isn’t bleeding anymore but I am gonna keep a close eye on her. These spoiled monsters gotta stop being monsters!

Well, I found something that I wanted for Christmas, but it won't get here until after Christmas most likely, It's a cigarrette case and extra was paid to have a clip put on the back of it so that can be worn on a belt. You could use it for other thing's if you don't smoke. I ordered the black one and I'm haveing the chicken design put on it, but they have many other design's too. I sent the seller a message and they were fast to reply. Here's the link to what I'm getting:

Well,,,,,,, Nobody smokes in our family, BUT,,, this can double out as the wallet alternative/replacement. Thieves/pickpockets would not target it since its only cigarettes'.
I can stash my collection of credit cards,, Drivin lye-sense, and a fist full of cash in that container. Of course I would have a Bic Lighter stashed in that side pocket for good disguise.
Ladies are targeted for their purses.

True, and you could always use the lighter to start your campfire. I also wonder if a tube of Chapstick might fit where you would put the lighter at?

Hope everyone is ready to enjoy their Christmas celebrations. Looks like we'll have some lovely weather!
It's nice to not have to worry about the rising cost of eggs.
I'm going to make some eggnog punch for Sunday. Takes quite a few eggs... but hey, I've got quite a few.
