Beak splits and pecked backs: when feathered friendships turn fowl

Oh, a split beak and a pecked-back buddy, sounds like your flock has turned into a fowl drama club! First off, don't panic.

Keep an eye on them, and maybe offer some extra distractions like treats or toys. For more beak-related chaos, check out our piece on sunshine turning into serious fowl play. You've got this!
