One of my cockerels chipped the middle out of his beak. It doesn't look like it bled or anything, just broke right to the quick. I trimmed the outside edges with a nail clipper to round it out for him.
The issue is now his top beak is shorter than the bottom. The top does not overlap the bottom like it should. I see there is a bit of non living bottom beak but I remember being advised never to trim the bottom.
Should I do anything? He seems to eat fine. But it just looks so wrong. And i want to take him to Wetakiwin in February...
