HELP!! chicken with a bloody beak!!

[bpoore04]

So I was looking at our younger chickens and my brother was looking at the regular flock and he noticed that Goldie Locks was bleeding from her beak!! She was dripping blood but she was still trying to eat and drink. All of the other chickens were trying to peck at her so I put her in a dog crate with food in water. I left the dog crate in the coop because I didn’t want to separate her and cause her even more stress. Please help!!

Is the tip of the beak broken? I would use some chlorhexidine (hibiclens), vetyricin spray, saline, or plain water and try to gently flush it off so you can see better. Be gentle, if it's a beak injury it can be very painful. If it's not the beak, then you will need to look inside the mouth to see if the tongue is injured or if something is lodged in there.

Also I have to add that she was still acting normal except for the fact that I think she was trying to get away from the other chickens so they couldn’t peck her

I’ll go see if I can tell if her beaks broken but when I looked at it a few minutes ago it looked all still there. And I looked inside her mouth and the blood is only at the top of the beak and inside the tip it’s not back in there

Long shot thought too but examine her and your other flock members well in case there is some other injury that maybe she herself was pecking at on herself or another bird.

The other chickens will be attracted to the blood and will peck her, so you will need to separate her until the bleeding is stopped and there isn't fresh, red blood. It's hard to tell from the picture with so much blood, but it appears the very tip may be broken.

Everybody else looks fine

She is seperated and I guess where she has been drinking water most of the blood was gone except for a little dried part. And she hasn’t been dripping anymore either. And where most of the blood was gone it didn’t look to be broken

That’s good to hear in that case. I hope you can find out what happened to this sweet girl and get her well
