One of my chicken lickens, 'Broken Beak'


One of my chicken lickens, 'Broken Beak'

When I got her home from the market, I saw that half of her top beak was missing...and she couldn't pick up grain...thought she would die! But she didn't! One egg every day...Good girl!!!!

Aw what a wee shame....do their beaks grow back Karen, or do they learn to cope without?

Thanks everyone!

She's much friendlier than the other two, perhaps because I used to give her mashed potatoes, since they were easy for her to eat! But, having said that, the other two are nice birdies too...

Her beak did grow back...but it's still shorter than it should be, Scottish...

Anyway, the secret to all their hearts is spaghetti and tinned sweetcorn!

But, sadly they're all packing their beaks and off to my step-daughter's house next week...
