Beak issue Help!

[Bananaplinko]

Today I noticed my 3 month old dark Brahma pullet has something wrong with her beak. It hasn’t always been like this. I don’t know if she’s able to eat. how can I fix it or is there no solution?!?!

Cross beak, sometimes called scissor beak often present at birth but more noticeable usually around this age.

You might be able to trim/sand that top beak back a little, the bottom one too. Similar to finger nail.. don't hit the quick.. (easily seen in the bottom in your pic #2).

Sometimes using crumbles or wetting the feed into a mash can help these type of birds eat. They also may not be able to preen properly.

Here are a couple of articles to review..
