My poor little girl, we just got the eye problem under control and BOOM! yesterday I noticed her beak is out of alignment. The bottom is about a quarter of an inch to the side. She tries to eat but the food falls out of her mouth. I tried letting her free-range but she can't seem to eat grass or scratch grains either. What can I do for her? I put her in a transitional coop I use for chicks. She will have a dark warm place to rest. I need to know if anybody has any ideas what to try to feed her. I have a large syringe that I could use to get liquids in her. I just have a sinking feeling that I can't do anything for her.

I have a hen with a crooked beak that I have been syringe feeding for a long time, although her beak is a genetic thing. I took the hen to the vet and he gave me Lafeber's Nutritional support. You can only get through a vet. You mix it with water and syringe feed. I also syringe feed her with organic baby food, peas, green beans, peaches and now only occasionally apples as she got sour crop from too much apples. Hope that helps

I will have to see if any of the vets around here can get me some. Thanks for the info. I will give it a go with the baby food tomorrow.

I thought the eye problem was fixed only to find out yesterday that what is causing the swelling and problem with her beak is actually an eye worm! I can't find any of the medications recommended to me for eye worms. Anybody know how to treat it?
