How do you fix a severe broken beak?

[chickenlover235]

Thank you! I read all of it. I'm scared on trimming her beak the bottom needs to be trimmed very badly and the top also I just don't really know how to do it RIGHT. Any suggestions?

Gosh, I've never had the problem with my flock so I can't help you in that regard. But after reading that page it would be a great help to her if you would use the water nipple bucket for her water, and make sure her feed is at chest-height so she doesn't have to go the distance to get feed up and in her mouth.

I have to say also that I found it quite interesting when she said:

Chickens confined to a run should be provided with a paver, brick or cement block for beak honing.

I'm going to do that right now! All the very best to you...someone else may chime in with some suggestions on actually trimming it.

Could you just file it a bit every day, so there is little chance of overdoing it? Also much less chance of causing bleeding. Was she born this way? Or did some injury dislocate her
beak(jaw)?

This is what a beak should look like ...




She ran into a fence wile being chased ......




I have to feed her in a deep feed pan with wet feed otherwise she cant eat .......

She wasn't born with it but after her and her siblings were turning 3 months old, I went to be with my chickens and I saw that and was scared! And I'll try to file it if she lets me :/ but thanks y'all!
