Beak rot?

[nekneven]

Young poultry has extremely soft spot on upper beak for a few days and now it has started bleeding just a tiny bit. Any suggestions as to what this may be?

Hi and welcome to BYC. I think that the best place to post your question is the ER forum - https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/threads/add/forumId/10. I'm sure the experts there will be able to advise.

Did another chick injure him? Or maybe he injured himself trying to poke his beak through a fence, or into a metal feeder.
