I don't even know where to start-
woke up and let chicken out of coop and my rooster had a bloody mass hanging out of his beak. upon inspection, it didn't look like he was attacked. he seemed ok but honestly couldn't find anything like this on here or anywhere else and it didn't seem possible he would recover. we made the difficult decision to cull him but I can't stop thinking about him
anyone know what this could be? my best guess after reading all day seemed to be maybe he ate or was bitten by something poisonous?
or maybe his crow collar strangled him? we took off crow collar when examining him but didn't really change anything
I feel so horrible! and have felt horrible all day
anyways, I'm putting this in emergency to see if anyone recognizes what might've caused this in case it happens to one of my other hens
lower beak isn't missing, we confirmed it was there
