My hen was trying to fight another hen though the fence a few months ago and messed up her bottom beak. I thought it would heal up and return to normal. That didnt happen. The bottom half of her beak is nearly flat and a little shorter than it should be and the top part has grown longer and is curved way more than it should be. She eats ok still . . . for now. Im afraid if i just keep leaving it, she wont be able to in the future. I dont know if i should file like a fingernail? or trim it off? Im afraid that it will hurt her if i cut it. Surely it will bleed. Has anybody else ever heard of this happening?
