Weird Beak?

[kukupecpec]

Hiya!

My Buff Brahma, Churches, seems to have something weird going on with her beak. I got all 6 of my birds from CL, and I knew it was a gamble, but this was the only option my husband gave me to start off with, and I don't mind having already full grown and laying girls to kick start my new chicken love! Because they were from CL, they were all extremely skittish and I couldn't get real close to them so I honestly didn't notice this until a yesterday when I was finally able to get some of them to eat out of my hand.
The top half of her beak is a little funny shaped. The tip looks like it was either broken off and then worn down, or just worn way down. So her bottom beak is a little longer than her top beak. I know she dribbles a lot when she drinks, but so does my EE and her beak is normal. I was just wondering if this is ok? Or if there is something I need to do about it? I have a couple pictures but the quality is not great so it's a little difficult to see. I will try to get a better one today.

Kerp her on close observation to make sure she is able to eat and drink fine...ig she is I wouldnt worry to much however if she is struggling to eat or drink she made need to be culled to prevent a slow starvation

Either she had her top beak clipped OR she broke it off, "DE-BEAKED" chickens can still eat just fine. Do keep a close eye on her that she doe not lose weight. It will take awhile for more beak to grow back...hope this is helpful

Well FEUF! I'm just glad she'll be alright! I'll definitely keep an eye on her and make sure she's eating as best i can. I have a bunny cage i can use to keep her indoors if i need to, but she seems happy and healthy a far as i can tell!
