Beak injury

[Rooberryfarms]

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on treating the minor beak injury on my friend. No other chickens are showing injuries so I am thinking she got bopped on the coop or feeder somehow.

Is she able to open and close her beak normally? Does she act like it is painful. If the surface is just injured, it may be okay. I will look for some info about injured beaks.

Hi- thanks for the reply. Yes, she seems to be eating and foraging without problems. I have been trying to wipe it, but she’s pretty squirmy.
