One of my hens beak is broke. You can see a crack on one side. It isn't that bad but, I am scared she will hit it again and break it more. What should I do? Thanks, Michelle
there probably isn't much you can do besides feed her soft food in a deep dish until it heals. she needs to be able to get to the food without having to put pressure against the beak, that's why I suggest a deep bowl. lots of good stuff like scrambled eggs and oatmeal until it heals. if it has bled from where it broke you might consider putting some anti-bacterial ointment in the crack
Thanks it was it did bleed some. I think I have seen some people use glue, should I do this? Will it heal right?
Quote:I'd be interested in knowing this. Super glue is good on human cuts, surgeons use it (or perhaps a special more expensive medical version?), so my guess is it would be good for the beak. Anyone have experience with it?
Here's a link to my experience with a broken beak. Depending on the severity you definitely can super glue it...I did and it worked pretty well. Good luck!! https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=552433
