Bleeding chipped beak!

[NewtonZapple]

Hi,
Not sure if this is relevant, but my guineas woke up to their first snow this morning. I let them out and immediately noticed terrible bullying to one female.
They all chased her around the yard attacking her. I managed to get her and confine her into the coop, but I see that her beak is chipped and bleeding. I can’t see any other injuries, but she is despondent and clearly traumatized.

The other guineas are surrounding the coop trying to get to her - and naturally I am freaking out.

Any suggestions?

Can you get some photos of her beak?

What do you mean by they are surrounding the coop trying to get to her?
She likely will calm down if you will.

If the chip isn't so bad as to prevent the guinea from eating, time will repair it, but why would the bullying of a female get so aggressive? Are any of the guineas not being aggressive? If there are any I'd put them with her providing you're sure she has no other damage and the bleeding has stopped.

What I meant was that I put her into the coop/fenced run area and put all the other guineas (6) outside the pen roaming free.

But, rather than roaming around my 7 acres of woodland, the six guineas were all circling the run and pecking through the fence at the one inside the fence.

Thank you for your reply. All the other guineas were bullying her, so I put her in with my chickens and everything seems fine now. She has always preferred the chickens to the other guineas (they were all raised together from 2 days old - so maybe she just identifies as a chicken )
The beak quick bleeding and although there is a huge chip missing, she is eating fine and seems happy enough with the chickens so I’ll just keep her there until someone seems unhappy!

I remember when my rooster chiped his beak and it started bleeding. They heal. Just make sure it does not get dirt in it.
