Welcome to BYC

TwoCrows gave you some good advice already. What I'll do in this case is clean her beak as best I could and get some antibiotic cream/ointment on there. **Use one without added painkillers!** Ask your pharmacist about that and which one would be safe to use. Good luck with your hen!

What will not work.I did this on my hens foot,and it went fine.I'd try it on the beak.It will soak it up and get any infection out.It is already open,right?

No the wound is not open if that's what your asking. It got infected and scabbed over. I did something to see in any part was open. I put a drop of peroxide and no bubbles meaning it's scabbed over to where there's no open ending for any disinfectant or antibiotics will work.

I finally found out what will/should help her.I would soak her beak in warm water then add "Hydrogen Peroxide" to the water.let it sit for maybe 10 or 15 minutes.This will kill any germs,infection etc in the wound.My hens foot as gone down a bit,but she still limps on it.It worked great for me.

Will it work even if I tied peroxide. I use quetips soaked in it on her beak daily now. But only after it scabbed over. It won't bub so o fear it's not doing anything cause where it's swelling is scabbed over. Then below the swelling is weakening loosing layers. It worries me. The peroxide I worry isn't working. In other words pretty much healed just swollen underneath and affecting the tip of the beak.

If there is a small openning it's enough for it to do its thing.

Its actually best to put it on the beak after soaking.Not in the water,(I apoligize)

Ok so like have a warm damp washcloth and have it on her beak to soften the scab?

No,just pour it on the main sore.
