    Beak Deformity (Underbite and Straight Lower Beak)

    This is my princess Fatima. I was wondering if anyone has experience with deformities such as this. For the most part she can eat fine, but she can’t peck like normal. Kinda makes me laugh and feel sad at the same time.

    HELP cracked beak!

    My poor little guy just got his beak stuck in the chicken fence and cracked his beak. It was bleeding quite a bit and I'm wondering what to do. I read that sometimes its best to leave it be since they can repair themselves, but I'm really not sure.

    Tip of beak broke off

    First time chicken owner here. When I was letting my chickens out this morning I noticed one of my little girls is missing the tip of her beak 🥺 I know it’s probably not a huge issue as I’ve read they will grow back… But is there anything I need to do? Should I watch for anything? Will this...

    What's wrong with this ducklings beak?

    This little guy is the only one who hatched out of 9 eggs. (Only 1 other duckling pipped and sadly it died not long after it pipped externally) Once this little guy made a hole big enough, I can see that his beak is injured. It looked skinned and raw. After being pipped externally for almost 2...

    Went out to check the quail before bed one more time today and noticed that one’s beak is bleeding and broken on the tip. What can I do to help stop the bleeding? She is currently separated and being monitored. The tip of the beak is not bleeding horribly, but would like to help stop it for...

    Should I worry about beak size.

    I know they're young, but the length of the beak is worrying. What experiences have you had with beak size in chicks?

    Black streak, should I be worried?

    One of my girls has a black streak in her beak. It’s not raised or textured, but it has grown in length. She is perfectly happy and it doesn’t seem to bother her at all. Should I be worried?

    What’s wrong with her beak?

    There was a slight dented line about a year ago and it has gotten bigger and now there is grey... hard stuff in her nostrils. Is this always there and we can just see it now. Is this all due to age? She will be 11 this July. No significant injuries to her head. Survived 3 fly strikes in the past...

    Broken beak treatment?

    One of our new Americana pullets seems to have injured her beak. They were just introduced to the coop last night after a few days of being caged nearby. All of our chickens are free range. The flock went out to graze and the 4 pullets stayed in the coop. Anything I can do outside of separation...

    Clear, thick discharge from beak - Hyper-salivation?

    Hi all, today while I was free ranging my hens, I noticed my 19 month old Barred Rock chicken had her mouth open and was acting as though she were about to sneeze. She'd keep it open for a second, then forage for a second, lift her head up and open her beak, and repeat. Initially I thought she...

    Pullet with scab\bump thing on her nose, should i be worried?

    I noticed the scab thing on this chicks nose when she was a month younger, I thought that it was a speck of dirt or something and tried to brush it off, now it's bigger and she sounds different from her siblings. She's fine otherwise just sounds a bit more squeaky than the others Edited to fix...

    Overgrown bottom beak or broken top beak?

    This is my chicken noodle and she’s around 3. Her bottom beak looks overgrown but i’m not entirely sure. Should I trim her beak? What will happen if I don’t? Thank you!

    Beak falling off?

    Not sure what is wrong with my Silkie. It almost looks like the beak has been chipping off and her nostrils are covered? The skin above her beak looks bad.

    Sore on eye and sore around mouth, should I be concerned??

    Hi, first time chicken mom here. I have been reading about avian pox, canker sores, and other kinds of diseases but I'm not sure which this is. Or even if it is anything at all. Please let me know what you think I should do. Is it a disease or injury? What's the best protocol to help? The first...

    Best way to trim quail toenails & beaks? Share your advice & stories!

    The coturnix quail toenail/beak trimming today did not go so well. They develop these hard balls of debris/poop on their toes, and their feet are so delicate that completely removing these balls isn't really realistic, at least with the tools I have. The quicks in their nails were longer than...

    Beak problem!

    Hello! I have a 18 week silver laced wyandotte and I came to check on them and her beak was all bloodied! It looks like the top layer of the front beak had chipped off. It seems like she’s in pain and eats very carefully. Is there anything I can do to help her? Will it grow back?

    Growth?

    Noticed that there is a growth on one of my Silkie’s nose. I haven’t notice anything else from any of the flock. She seems fine. They do come out and free range for a couple hours a day. I put vetRX on it today 🤷🏼‍♀️ Anyone have a clue to what this could be?

    What is this growth on my chickens beak

    Hello all! I have searched and searched and can’t seem to find anything on this. We have an adorable and sweet 4 month old Speckled Sussex and about a week ago we noticed this growth. At first I thought it was a giant tick! Then thought wart but now scared it might be a tumor of some kind...
