broken beak.Help needed

[TomandBarbara]

My bluebell Penelope has always had a long beak that hooked over the lower beak and it has never been a problem but this morning Inoticed that her beak has broke across the top and too the side.its not bleeding and she is still eating.should I file it at all and will it grow again??

Anyone????

Unless it's a really bad break and the blood vessels in the beak got damaged I can't see why it won't grow back and heal completely. Could you possibly post some pics so we can have a look?

Have tried but she's won't keep still long enough for a pic. She's eating well now and has laid a cluckleberry this morning ( that's what the kids call eggs) so it seems she'll be alright but am finding conflicting information as to whether the beam will grow against

The beak should grow back,just keep an eye out for infection.
