madclucker Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 One of my chickens has broken off the end of her beak. How serious is this? Should I take her to the vet? She seems to be pecking around ok but not realy sure if she's eating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickyhazel Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 You need to make sure she acn eat OK - if she can, leave her, if she can't, take her to the vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Is it bleeding? - if so she's hit the quick + you'll need to stop that. Try cornflour, or the vets. If not she should be fine, it'll wear down + smooth out a bit as she pecks + scratches. Just make sure she is eating, maybe try mash (just add boiling water to pellets) for a couple of days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
