I don't think I should trim her. Not yet, and I'd def have a vet do it not me..

Ok update.. she is doing great!!

The only thing that's bothering her and the thing I havnt gotten a Strait answer to is, when can I let her free with the other chicks? I let her go for like a half hr a few times just yesterday to see if they picked on her and she was cuddling on her cage mates like she hadn't seen them in 100 years, rubbing her head on them snuggling in dirt piles together, and nobody picked on her beak. It is not raw, it has a dry blood covering that I have tried and tried to remove and came to terms it's just her beak color w dryblood.
So, it looks so much better,
I won't use pain relief.
She is okay. Up and running, drinking g water eating fruit greens and pellets all set I believe.. just wonder if I should wait till she's fully healed to release her to the flock..
And, is it because she is a dewarf, that she got picked on? Or just reg old pecking order gone bad in the coop which caused this injury? @centrarchid has given you good experienced advise.

Let the scab fall off by itself.

As far as letting her back with the flock, that can be "iffy". This is what I do with any injured bird. I have a large wire dog kennel that I set up in the run - make sure it's in a shaded area in summer. Place the bird on clean dry bedding with their own food/water. This allows them to still be "part" of the flock while they are healing, but the others can't pick at them. Since she is so small, you might be able to build a cage with chicken wire or hardware cloth. I've found that the other flock members congregate around the "jailed" bird and keep them company - they even dust bathe next to the cage. With your bird since it's a wound, make sure there are no flies landing on her and you may want to bring her in at night and put her back in the morning, this will keep the night flying insects off of her. Mine only had a sprained leg, so I let her out to roost with the others at night, then got up early and took her off the roost in the a.m. so she didn't jump down. (She could go up, but not down

).

Just my thoughts.
