beak

Hello! Im not sure if I made a mistake or not, but I noticed one of my jersey giants (5 weeks old) had her stuck a little open and her top beak looked pretty long. I decided to give it a little trim, something I’ve done before, but when I did it now looks like her top beak is a tad shorter than...

Hello. I have a Black Australorp chick. She had been fine and her beak was normal for the past 3 weeks. I brought them home April 6th. But, today I noticed that her beak is F***ed up big time. It actually looks broken to me. It hangs open and when I touch it gently it seems to be loose. She is...

Hello, My 6 month old Indian Runner Custard got her beak stuck in the run whilst I was at work. She has red bruising and a graze below it from where her beak was stuck. I have put Vetericyn spray on it. She is still foraging happily but I’m worried that she might hurt her beak more when its...

Hi everyone I found one of my male quails with a broken beak. Its completely clean with no blood but its broken right back to just where the flesh starts. His new beak tip is the flesh bulb thingy (ill get pictures soon). Will the beak grow still if it was just the keratin part that has broken...

I hatched 8 silkies a month and a half ago. I was hoping some of them would be good to start breeding with. I'm not planning to show them necessarily, but I don't want to breed serious genetic problems. Anyway, 3 of the chicks have weird beaks. One is an obvious cross beak and the other two are...

Hi! I have a 8 year old free range rooster that is acting lively, eating, drinking, but seems little listless. I know he is dealing w mites a little but I noticed he has a huge lump under beak! He’s definitely been acting like an old man, standing w eyes closed, picking at the mites more, etc...

I will come back to add more, edit and post photos soon, but wanted to share a duck bill repair tactic we devised that seems to be working, just in case anyone else has a similar emergency and is looking for ideas straight away. As always, this worked for us, but might not work for you, or I...

I just noticed half part of my chicken beak is not smooth and it looks like it’s peeling. Does this mean he has vitamin deficiency?? Thanks for the help in advance! 🙏🏼

Hey there, Waffle is a salmon favorelle, 9 weeksish and she kind of distances herself from the other four girls. Theyre about nine weeks old. Her underbite is particularly bad and this is after my husband filed it. It seems like she eats wet mash OK but I have yet to see her pick up a single...

Rhode Island Red growing like a weed. 3.5 weeks now. Good natured. No issues but noticed this little bump. It's hard, located under bottom beak like where wattle would grow and on one side, her left, only. Does not ooze, although I touched, bot squeezed. Could not be dry Fowl Pox from what I've...

Has anyone seen this before? This poor little pullet (she is almost 11 weeks old) has this large swollen area under her beak. She is eating and drinking normally, but I am so worried about her. Anyone know what this is and how I should treat her?

I'm not sure how this happened and luckily no bleeding, but not only is the end of his beak missing, it is significantly cracked down both sides of his upper beak. he is using it normally but I am worried it might fall apart, get further damaged. what would be the best way of managing it? or...

Hi everyone, Our Silkies are a month old and we recently noticed some of them have growths on their beaks. I've tried to search online, but can't seem to find what it is. They seem to be eating/drinking OK, but since we're not experienced with chicken disease we want to learn whether there...

I have caught my roosters doing this a few times. They put their beaks together and stand there for over 5 minutes. They don't make noise or show any aggression. It is winter in Michigan so I'm not sure if they are cold? Bonding? Sleeping? Has anyone seen this?

Any idea what is going on with this hen's beak? Saw it 4 days ago and it's getting bigger

Hello, I have a hen that has been through ALOT in the past half year. She’s had worms, been rejected from her flock, and then attacked by a fox. Now she has a bacterial infection. She had stopped eating last week, so I took her to the vet. They gave me meds and told me to tube feed her. I did...

I have a chicken that I feel is developing scissor beak. What is a good all around supplement that I can start incorporating in to their food?

Can I ask your opinion on this beak? 🤔 It was not like this before. I know it's molting season & everything is out of whack, but is this a chip or something more serious? Is there anything I can do for him? Sorry about picture quality. I was trying to get every angle & he wasn't having it! 😅

I walked into my backyard to find one of my hens fighting with a small mouse. From what I saw, my hen was winning and the mouse disappeared. But looking closer I saw blood in my hens mouth and assumed it wasn’t hers. But as you can see in the picture she seemed to have broke her beak while...
