Hello everyone, I have this Silkie of an unknown gender named TL. TL is 10 months and 23 days old, for the sake of simplifying my post I will just be calling TL a he. Well anyways TL is having some beak troubles, yesterday his beak was like a raptor beak, the top part curved over the bottom, I only realized at like 12 am so I was not about to ask what to do that late in the night. Well when I woke up today TL had broken his beaks tip off and was clicking the bottom part of his beak on the top part and it seems like TL can not shut his beak all the way. Can someone tell me how I can safely trim TL's beak? I have never had to trim a bird's beak before, usually they keep it short by pecking around at stuff all day, I guess TL is not very active... A few weeks ago he also had nail problems, they were getting really long and twisted like an old hens nails do. I know how to trim a bird's nails and solved that problem pretty fast. Well here are some pictures of his beak-
It was much more curved yesterday but he definitely broke some off somehow.
