I have an 8 week old chick with a cross beak. She is unable to eat regular chick crumble so we have been feeding her a special mixture of foods that are soft/liquiy. She was doing ok, had gained some weight but was still significantly smaller that the other chicks of the same age. She now has stopped gaining weight and is now losing weight, her top was 270g and now she's down to 230. Today I went back to syringe feeding her a bit of raw egg.
Does anyone have any advice for me? What have you all done with your cross beak chickens? Is her situation hopeless? I cannot afford to take her to a vet, but want to do everything I can at home.
She seems lively, runs to me when I go the coop, and follows me around the yard, but she just can's eat.
