What's on Chesta's Beak?!

[RoostersAreAwesome]

Background info: Chesta is a 1 year old serama mix. She has always had a reddish spot on her beak, but I thought it was nothing but a genetic flaw. On Sunday I noticed that she had a black scab on her beak. I also noticed that she would sometimes flick her head, as if she could feel it. I cleaned it a bit, and I again noticed that she would pull away when it was touched. So, my question is, what is this thing? Should I do anything about it? If so, what?

It is close to the nostril. As long as the nostril is open so she can breathe normally, I would not worry about it much. It may have been pecked or injured.

I agree with @Eggcessive it looks like a scrape or injury to the beak. Could be from a feeder or wire fencing.
Check it in a few days, it should be healing over fine.

Thanks for the info, I'll make sure to check on her in a few days. I think it's most likely from the wire on her pen. She only has one flockmate, a bantam rooster.

Chesta's beak fully healed, but she later died of unknown causes.

I'm very sorry to hear that you lost Chesta
