We had a young hawk swoop at our run, and two of the chickens injured their beaks running into the hardware cloth in the panic.
The buff Orpington chipped off the end of her upper beak and lacerated her flesh near the nostrils.
The speckled Sussex also has a laceration, and appears to have a crack or fracture on the top of her beak.
My instinct is to clean the scabs and apply ointment, and monitor. Does anyone suggest otherwise?
