Hello,
I recently looked at one of my chicks. He has a crooked beak. Im not sure if its too severe or not. I have been watching him and I dont know if he is eating or drinking. He does attempt to peck but doesnt pick up much. He is the youngest of my chicks so he doesnt get as much food since the others push the little guy away. I have been hand feeding and watering him. Is there anything I can do? My last resort is to cull him but i would rather not do that. His tongue is rather moist still so I think hes getting water. I just feel bad for him. Can he survive? Heres a pic of him (he is a silkie, sorry for the very bad quality. It was taken by a cellphone)
