Something just spooked my hens and caused one to presumably crash into a wall. One side of her beak cracked and a piece kind of bended away from her beak, leaving a sharp edge with exposed tissue. Blood has kind of flooded the area between her top outer beak and the top inside palette.

There isn’t active bleeding but I did wipe visable blood away. She seems on edge and keeps going into the nesting box, probably to calm herself down. She drank water but seems stressed.


If i superglue it, the glue might flood into my hens mouth potentially with how the injury is placed. What should I do?

In the image below i highlighted how large the injury is in red.

I’m not sure how to go about fixing that, but if it starts bleeding again you can stop the bleeding by dusting the wound with corn starch.

Here you go, I'd try to repair it.
