[CHICKENS-101] Re: missing top beak.

 

If more than half of the beak is missing, I'd say it will be difficult for him to eat properly. Maybe keep an eye on him and see how he does. I'd weigh him now to get a base line and then weigh weekly to make sure he's keeping his weight. Also, check his keel every now and again for muscle mass.
