Chick hatched without beak!

[Fishkeeper]

Probably had something wrong in his skull, poor little thing. It's probably for the best, he would have ended up starving.

If one does enough hatching, deformities will appear.
I once hatched a chick with 3 legs. One normal, one a club foot and another not functioning coming out of the vent. After a few pictures, I put it down.

So sorry for your loss and the sad experience. I guess we all get to learn about it, which is one positive bit.

He passed naturally the next day

Sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry! Bear hugs!

My goose had a similar situation at birth. I had to hand feed him until he was old enough to get a prosthetic beak attached. Expensive surgery, but well worth it. His bday is 3/27 and he's doing great....

Hi! My son incubated and hatched 2 chicks. One was born with no top beak! He has been in the incubator 3 days now and it’s time he starts eating but I don’t know what to give him. Any ideas or advice?

Yogurt it is worth a shot. We have a hen who was born with a severe cross bill and could not eat. We started mixing her mash with yogurt so it was soft and sticky. She is now 3 years old, her name is C.C. (short for Criss Cross), lays eggs and lives a normal chicken life. But we still have to separate her 3 times a day, because she eats slow and needs time to eat with out the other hens around.
