Baby Chick Hatched Without A Beak!

[CrazyChickLady7]

Aww. If that wouldn't be hard for the chick I would say I wish I had one, but i wouldn't want that wished on a baby.

It is very cute I do agree! It was a little shocking at first, though!

 

[CrazyChickLady7]

What kind is it. I love the color.

If this baby managed to hatch from the egg, it is definitely a survivor. Very cute.

A Cochin Americana Cross.

I was wondering how it got out! No end little clip to take the shell off!

 

[CrazyChickLady7]

You might want to check often to make sure it doesn't have bugs. I probably wont be able to preen.

 

[Chook Kingdom]

I know! I was going to look up something I can use to treat preening issues! I really hope it'll make it!

Prosthetic beak?

Australorps being an egg heavy breed. Chickens with little to no beak via a natural mutation could actually be a useful trait. Imagine if you can eliminate the practice of de-beaking layer hens?
