Luvachicken Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Lucie's top part of her beak slightly overhangs the bottom part and I wondered if it will cause her a problem. I was hoping she would file it down herself on the patio part of their run but hasn't yet. It is very thin at the end and quite pointy compared to the normal rounded end they have. The top of her beak also looks very 'old' and I'm not sure why. Do you think I need to take her to the vets to trim it ? (Think they might laugh at me for taking a 3rd chicken in almost as many weeks ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 How old is she Luvachicken? I'd have thought if it was going to be a problem it already would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 She is my oldest girlie Can't think off the top of my head exactly how old. Strange thing is, is that it's only just got long over the last couple of months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Just looked back in my previous posts to find that I got her in June 2012 so that makes her almost 4. She was only 6 weeks old then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 One of my bantam orps has the same, she hatched in 2014 and it doesn't seem to bother her, definitely eats ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Thanks mollyripkim, Lucie appears to eat fine although she does seem to flick her head to get the food in. I have got some new scales so will be able to keep a better eye on any weight loss. I will see how she goes and then perhaps take her.

mollyripkim Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I would be interested in what they say if you do take her to the vet. Thanks Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
