Something just spooked my hens and caused one to presumably crash into a wall. One side of her beak cracked and a piece kind of bended away from her beak, leaving a sharp edge with exposed tissue. Blood has kind of flooded the area between her top outer beak and the top inside palette.

There isn’t active bleeding but I did wipe visable blood away. She seems on edge and keeps going into the nesting box, probably to calm herself down. She drank water but seems stressed.


If i superglue it, the glue might flood into my hens mouth potentially with how the injury is placed. What should I do?

In the image below i highlighted how large the injury is in red.
