Beak problems

[Baylee_baby_]

I have a golden comet that has what almost looks like a hole. All my other chicks are doing just fine, but she sneezes A LOT. Could it be mites or something else? This is my first time owning chicks so I want to try to get everything right, but I don't know what's going on with her

Hi Baylee,
Welcome to BYC. Is it trough and trough?

It looks like there's a black scab behind the hole. She didn't have it as a tiny chick. She has 2 scabs on the sides of her beak so I replaced their feeder with a different one that doesn't have little holes and there's no more scabs now she just has the dent now I think she kept hitting it on the plastic part of the feeder.

Great news that you found the possible cause of this! Hope your chick will be as good as new in no-time
