Crack in Beak

My ameraucana Nasuada got her beak stuck in the chicken wire. Now it's cracked in a spot. That day she wouldn't eat, but now she is. Will the crack always be there? Or will it fuse together again?

Sorry...can't help. But at least she's back to eating and drinking.

That has to be a HUGE relief...

Beaks are like nails, they hurt like heck when broken into the quick, can bleed alot, and if real deep, can hit the bone. That said, if she's eating now, and it's just a crack, it'll grow out in a few months no problem.

Just recently had another post like this about 2-3 days ago. If you want to fix it, use super glue. Clean the cracked area with alcohol, touch tip of superglue to area so that it seeps into the crack. Be sparing so that it doesn't glue the beak together or get into her nose.

It's like fixing a nail at a nail salon.

Totally a relief that she's eating again. It did bleed a lot. But now she seems fine, and is back to her normal self, pecking and bossing the other chickens! I don't think she'll need the superglue remedy.

Ask not why the chicken crossed the road, but why the road got in the way of the chicken.
