Busted Beak

[chad]

My rooster got hit by a car yesterday. He will recover, but a small portion of the tip of his beak got broken off. It doesn't seem to prevent him from eating. Does anyone know if it will grow back? I know it doesn't if it's de-beaked, but don't they use a hot tool to cauterize it with, to prevent regrowth?

Hi Chad. Please see the link below to another thread about a broken beak. I hope this helps. If your rooster had more damage than what this other thread describes, please give us more detail so that we know haw bad it is.
