Severely broken beak

[MyChickies2020]

My rooster has hurt his beak to the point that it looks like the whole beak is almost ripped off, but was still holding on one side. I looked up what to do and put some neosporin on it and read about using super glue, but the break is so far up and starts right under one "nostril." It happened while he was in the run. I looked and only saw a little bit of blood on the waterer. He seems fine and acting normal, but has a hard time eating so I've been softening up his food with water. What more can I do for him and will it grow back?

If it is all the way back to the quick it may or may not grow back. Make sure that he is getting adequate nutrition.

Hi @MyChickies2020 -

How is your bird doing? Has there been any regrowth on the beak? I am dealing with a similar situation for a young silkie chicken. It would be so helpful if you could attach some photos of your chicken’s initial situation and progress.

Thank you,
Jillian
