Broken beak, Not sure what to do.

[Traffie Chickens]

Hi, this is my boy Dusty. He has somehow broke his beak and part of the top fell off, his beak doesn’t fully close anymore and I’m not sure what I should do for him. It kinda looks to me like it’s starting to peel back. Will this grow back? Here are a few pics.

It looks like the top part has been broken off for a good while, the keratin under sheath has already hardened and healed.

Is he picking at something through fencing or catching the beak on a feeder?

Generally something like this I leave alone, the beak will eventually thicken up a bit more. If it seems to be splitting slightly, you can apply a very small amount (like a drop) of Vitamin E oil to the beak, work it in. Do this about once a week to help it not be so brittle.
