Help! --------------------------------

I am new to owning chickens and one of my chickens had an unfortunate run-in with a rat which led to him not having a beak. AT ALL...

I was wondering on what I can feed him.

Any suggestions?

No beak?

I've never heard if this!!!!! Soft stuff maybe?? Soggy oatmeal? Bits of things in water so he can drink it?
Hmmm.....
P.S.

And the world of shickens

i can post a picture of him if you'd like! People are mostly scared of him, but i see him as my child so i think he's beautiful!

and thanks for the suggestions! i'll take them into consideration

Oops, I meant chickens, shickens.
Experiment, see what you can do.
Has this happened to any one else?????

 

[chickenarmy]

A picture! No chicken can horrify me! Except that evil rooster and that black broody hen.... But that's another story!

i'm pretty sure it has happened, but not the WHOLE beak, i mean like there's is nothing there at all.

The poor little guy's tongue was just hanging out when the accident had just happened. :c

Tough lookin guy! Well let me/us know what happens?
It will be interesting to see if he eats!

 

[LukeTheChicken]

Well, i've only been able to feed him chick starter. he won't eat anything else.

How can i cure a chicken cough by the way?
