    crossed beak. . . .

    of course it's my daughter's favorite too. It's an EE chick and it has a MAJOR crossed beak, and it's happened in the last few days. . it wasn't like that the last time she held it several days go. the top beak doesn't even cover the bottom at all.

    please reassure me they aren't going to kill themselves. . .

    I've seen chicks on shavings lots of times, nearly all the times that they were not on wire. . .I had them on paper towels the first few days but I put shavings down today, and while they seem happier than pigs in mud, I am scared they are going to eat that stuff and either get an impacted crop...

Do you think that is...
