Please Help...Hen's Beak cut to the quick. Cracked? Not eating or drinking!Lethargic

Is the tip of the beak still hanging where you tried to trim it? If it is, then that's going to be painful and make it hard for her to eat.

She's quite pale. Does she get outside in the sunshine and fresh air?

The windows are open for ventilation. We sometimes take her outside too but rarely. She starts panting the second she's outside.

It's cracked I think so not hanging exactly

Well, the dangling part is probably painful. Is that where you attempted to trim the beak?
It may need to be trimmed off. If you can see the vet to help you with this, it would be good.

The part where there's the red? If so, yes.
Yeah I'll try convincing my parents to take her there after school

Where I have the red box, that's a partial trim? Part of the beak is like hanging?
If so, then you'll need to just trim that part off. Every time she uses her beak to eat, it's painful. I know it may bleed a bit, but it's not going to heal up since it's been cut, it's better to finish the trim.

Oh. I thought it would heal like in the recent pictures it's not much visible.

Best if she goes to a vet tho, don't want to hurt her again.

Edit- She's eating! Somehow trimmed it out herself.! Should i continue with the antibiotics?

What's the antibiotics for?

I'm glad to hear she's eating now

It's an antibiotic/vitamin mix boost.
the owners said it was to prevent infection from happening due to the broken beak and as a general vitamin boost when she wasn't eating.

Is it still necessary?

Oh, is it electrolytes with vitamins?
These can help give her a boost, but aren't meant for long term. If she's drinking ok, then you can switch to plain water.

It's good to have the electrolytes and vitamins on hand so you can give them for a short period of time to help get your hen through a crisis.

OK then. Thanks for your help.
