Cracked beek

[Joe Pet]

Our little girl is about a month. She hit her beek too hard and crack the top of it. Putting it off alignment. Turning it to the right. I have attached a picture.

oh the poor thing. It looks like it is hanging off. Is it still attached by flesh?

Can you splint it back into the right position with a bit of tape?

 

[Joe Pet]

Thanks for the reply. Yes its still attached. But cracked and bent. She unfortunately pecked at the ground.

Polish are so kooky, that doesn't surprise me.

I would try a bit of tape to hold it in place, or even superglue and a cut down matchstick as a splint on both sides until it heals.

You can make a temporary repair much like you'd temporarily mend a cracked fingernail with the paper portion of a dry teabag and a drop of superglue on top. Align the broken beak into as close to perfect position as is possible, pull the teabag tissue over the broken area and apply the absolute minimum amount of glue as is needed to wet the teabag. Hold her until it is dry, then gently 'emery board' or 'nail file' the unneeded portion of the tissue away from the repair.

Youtube video on the 'tea bag trick' for human fingernails so that you can visualize the procedure that I'm recommending.

What a brilliant idea!!!

Agree on superglue + tea bags, I've fixed cracked fingernails using that a few times.
