Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Thank you for your timeley response, I think its pretty bad, the tip is a definite 90° downward and then a slight curvature inward. But thank you, it has consoled me to know that at least they won't chop off his beak

best vet can do is trim it . you can probably do it yourself and save some money. Let vet do it first then watch what he does. They have blood vein in them like a dogs toenail.

X2 especially in a not so normal beak. Look for a vet that does birds regularly, not every vet has the equipment to do it nor the practice.

Yup. Regular guillotine style dog nail clippers & filed afterwards. Easy peasy, just don't trim too far. It's fairly easy to see where you should stop, leastaways it was for me.

well, she left that one still alive. No more eggs for her.

4 eggs: one external, one internal, one not ready, and one late quitter. Still has small veins, so I left it. I might give the not ready to the other broody. Flapjack needs to feed her babies tomorrow.

This is what the cockerel I trimmed the beak on looked before. After trimming a bit, waiting for quick to recede, trimming some more, and then letting him file the rest down himself on rough rocks, it's normal again.

late quitter still had veins ? I was giving baby some gatoraid. Its taking it a drop from my finger then pecking at the air. Dont sound/look right staying upright trying to walk. other babys are mean to it.
