Parrot Beak Chickens, like other Aseel breeds, are generally hardy but may face certain health issues. Proper care, diet, and management can help prevent these problems. Here are some common health concerns:

1. Beak-Related Issues

Difficulty Eating – Their uniquely curved beak can sometimes make it harder for them to pick up food properly. Softened feed or deeper feeders may help.
Beak Overgrowth – In some cases, the beak may grow excessively, requiring occasional trimming to avoid eating difficulties.

2. Respiratory Infections

Symptoms: Coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, labored breathing.
Causes: Poor ventilation, dusty bedding, sudden weather changes, or infections like chronic respiratory disease (CRD).
Prevention: Maintain clean, well-ventilated coops and avoid overcrowding.

3. Parasitic Infestations

External Parasites: Lice and mites can cause feather loss, irritation, and weakness.
Internal Parasites: Worms can lead to weight loss, reduced growth, and diarrhea.
Prevention: Regular deworming and dust baths help keep parasites under control.

4. Nutritional Deficiencies

Calcium Deficiency: Leads to weak bones, poor egg production in hens, and deformities in young chicks.
Vitamin A Deficiency: Can cause eye problems and weakened immunity.
Prevention: Provide a balanced diet with grains, greens, protein, and supplements as needed.

5. Leg and Foot Problems

Scaly Leg Mites: A common issue that causes swollen, crusty scales on legs.
Bumblefoot: A bacterial infection caused by foot injuries or rough surfaces.
Prevention: Keep perches smooth, clean, and avoid wet or dirty ground conditions.

6. Aggression-Related Injuries

Fight Wounds: Since Aseel chickens are naturally aggressive, roosters may injure each other.
Prevention: Avoid keeping multiple roosters together unless space is sufficient. Treat wounds promptly to prevent infection.

7. Heat Stress

Symptoms: Panting, lethargy, reduced appetite.
Causes: Hot and humid climates without shade or proper ventilation.
Prevention: Provide fresh water, shade, and cool areas during hot weather.

General Health Care Tips
✔ Maintain clean coops with proper ventilation.
✔ Provide a nutritious, well-balanced diet.
✔ Regular health checks and deworming.
