Beak injury

[charlotte-and-the-bees]

Common story it seems. Had a friend with their dog over - dog was relatively relaxed near the coop, the girls were not despite having 2 brother dogs and a neighbor dog who they don’t care about! They ran around like mad and smacked their heads on the coop a couple of times. Four of the five had blood where their beak meets their comb, one had a little beak damage. I’m so upset with myself. I’d seen the dog around farm animals and she’s very relaxed, so I just assumed.

Got blu kote on all of them and none are still bleeding. The one I’m worried about is the split. No bleeding where it split but it’s a little separated on the side. Should I do anything to patch or do you think this will heal?

A few more pictures of the area that has cracked would be good, as it's hard to see much in the photo you provided.

Generally, if it's just a small crack, you can dab a little bit of superglue, preferably a wound superglue gel to the area, and leave be.

Sadly we didn’t get as good of photos as we though and now it’s dark! Here’s the other clear one.

Still hard to see, but I would try the glue.

Yeah, not great. Thank you for the suggestion! Got her inside and put some on.

Good work! What a sweetie, let us know in a few weeks how the beak does.
