My quail's beak is dislocated HELP!!

[Anyssa]

I need help. My quail's beak is dislocated. Can I possibly fix it myself or should I seek a vet? There isn't any poultry veterinarians in my area. Any tips? This is an injury. It happened in September and we thought it would get better on it's own.

Welcome to BYC!! Is it dislocated, or crossbeak that you haven’t noticed?

Hello and welcome to BYC We are happy you have joined us.

It looks slightly cross beak when I zoom in on the beak.

Welcome to BYC. I'm not sure what you can do. Mild cross beak isn't a problem, but you wouldn't want to hatch eggs from a female or allow a female to breed with a cross beak male.

From the replies, im guessing its crossbeak

Howdy, and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.

Happy to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!

It's definitely crossbeak, not an injury. In the first pic, it looks like there is alot of overgrowth,...do they have anything to rub their beaks on to keep them from growing too long?

Thanks for joining our community!

@Lacy Duckwing @JustBabyMargo ?

Sorry, I'm not that familiar with quail. I do agree with one of the other posters that you shouldn't breed it.

You said that it happened in September? Did her beak break? In the picture, it almost appears like her top beak is pointing up a little. Is that the case? Can you get a picture of her looking directly at the camera (with both eyes)?
