@featherhead007 excellent idea. If she's determined to stay inside, grab a cinder block paver to use as her feeding mat and go with the yogurt or apple sauce or mashed pumpkin or something else soft and semi-sticky. She'll fix her own beak, especially if she's standing on the paver when she's eating.

Update on my school Polish with coccidiosis.
She was doing great. I finished her dosage on Monday and she was better. Her poop was normal, she was acting normal. Yesterday I went out to school with my friend and we wanted to clean the coop and whatnot. Taffy was dead. No clue what happened, but there was mold under the feeder and waterer, so we think it might’ve been respiratory. Blueberry, GreenBean, and the two barred rocks got some VetRX on their beak and under their wings yesterday to hopefully get rid of respiratory issues.
I’m really upset. Taffy didn’t like being caught, but once I had her she was the sweetest. I had hope that I could work with her and get her to be more social. I just wanted a blue polish, and now she is gone. Ugh, owning chickens is the worst sometimes.
Here is a picture I took of Taffy when I found her. Also, to take the picture she was in a flower box, just so no one thinks there is potting soil with the white fertilizer stuff in the coop…
My friend and I moved the run to a new spot (where no chickens have been before), washed off the TSC coop and scrubbed it with soap to get the poop off, and put the coop back into the run. We put barn lime and shavings down in the coop and run to try to get rid of parasites and coccidiosis.
Well, GreanBean has yellow and foamy poop, so I bought some new Corid and am dosing the water. I just hope it isn’t too hard on them.
And here is the new run setup in the new spot, which is pretty far away from the old spot.
Now, my chickens I have at home… I think Bolt is sick. I just don’t know how or why or what is wrong with her. Two days ago, I noticed that her feathers were really puffed up, and when I picked her up, she weighed a lot more than normal. Also, she had poop sticking to her butt and something hanging out of her vent. It was flat, long, and kinda yellow. I went into panic mode because I thought it was her intestines or something, but Mom said it was poop (I do NOT think it was poop.) I didn’t get a picture of it though. If Bolt dies though, I am probably going to sell/give away all of my chickens (except for Athens and maybe a few special ones). I’ve had that hen for almost four and a half years, and she is easily my favorite hen. Like, no one else compares to her besides Athens, and he isn’t a hen.
Here was her two days ago. I told Mom to hold her so she could feel how heavy she is.
stay strong
