Chicken broke tip of beak

[guest226]

My chicken broke the tip of her beak, no blood and no cracks. She’s acting fine but not eating because it hurts. When giving blueberries I noticed it because whenever she touched the blueberry she would open her beak like she was hurt . How do I help her?

It seems to be the outer layer of her beak that chipped.

If only the tip is chipped, she should have no problem whatsoever once the initial pain wears off. Hopefully the entire outer layer of her beak has not been dislodged/damaged. That would require a longer recovery and possible feeding adjustment.

Her beak keeps chipping more and more. Do I file down the jagged edge? Could it be a calcium deficiency?
