BEAK INJURY

[Rhirae]

Just recently my one year old white sultan has a beak injury. I don’t know how she got it. I cleaned the injury the best that I could. Please help me on what to do.

Hi @Rhirae Welcome To BYC

Is it cracked all the way across? It's hard to tell in the photo. If you have more photos so we can see it at different angles that would be good.

Sorry for your poor little girl~ouch! Yes more photos from different angles would definitely help for everyone to see better what she’s got going on.
Beaks can heal. It’s hard to see exactly how bad the injury is.
Soft feed. It’s very painful to try and eat with a beak injury so soft food should be offered and you should monitor her to see that she is actually eating.
You could soak her regular crumbles/pellets and make a oatmeal-like consistency. Scrambled egg or anything wet and mashed easy to lap up until she heals.
Chickens have a unique way of trying not to call attention to themselves when they are sick or injured so... she may ACT like she’s pecking or eating when really she’s just going through the motions (trying to act normal). You might want to separate her to watch how she manages with food and water. And to See how much she is eating.

If it's just on the one side, then I would leave it alone, it should heal on it's own.
Provide her with soft wet foods as suggested by @MissChick@dee she will be sore for a few days.

How she got the injury may remain a mystery. Sticking a beak through wire fencing to nip at grass or plants is a common cause of injury.
