Be careful! You can always file more, but you can’t “unfile” if you know what I mean.

i keep you updated. especially if it grows back. i don't think it will, but just saying, i think the crack in her beak goes up too far to file

 

[The WinterWolf]

but ill try and file it regularly

Personally, I would use clippers first (because they are fastest), just one clip to get a chunk of the thin/clear part off the tip. If it's clear, you can be sure it has no blood and no nerves.

Then you could file to round the edges and maybe shorten it more.

You won't be able to file all of the split away now.

But as the beak grows, the split will keep moving further toward the tip, and you or the hen will be able to gradually file it off. Of course, if the new beak grows out with a split from the very beginning, then she will just keep having a split beak.

i just scatter crumbled layer pellets on the ground.

Yeah, that most likely is why she's having issues eating. Since she has a beak deformity, I would offer the feed in a container so that is easier to get a beak full. They have containers that can hook right onto the fencing.

 

[The WinterWolf]

ill do that. i already have a DIY idea!

the other chickens are going to steal her food, though. i'm going to get a picture now.

You just have to provide enough that all birds are able to access feed one way or another. They definitely will be interested since the feed will be in something different.
Or you can feed her separated from the flock so that she gets her share.
