Broken beak: how long to recover?

[CircusRing]

My rooster cracked his beak on the hardware cloth yesterday. I put super glue on it right away, and he slept a good chunk of the day today. He is eating and drinking now and seems ok. Does anyone have experience with a cracked beak? How long is the recovery time? Will it heal up or regrow out like fingernails do? It’s cracked up by where the beak meets his face.

My rooster cracked his beak trying to kill a neighbors dog through the fence. He cracked it in two different places. Near his face where his beak and skin meet up and in the middle of his beak. The middle was the worst. I superglued the middle and it held for a day or two. Then the end of his beak fell off completely. That was last month I think. He’s doing much better now though his beak isn’t fully grown in. The part by his face healed over in a week or so.

This is Fuzzy after his tea bag bandage failed him.

Awwww, he is gorgeous. I’m glad he’s feeling better. Good to know it was a month or so. I never even thought the superglue wouldn’t hold after a while but that makes sense. Thanks for replying!

Just in case anyone comes across this post in the future, my boys beak seemed to recover in a week and a half. It literally popped off like a fake nail and a new shorter beak was underneath. He’s doing great.
