Yeah now that scissor beak's head is sticking out I also he has no eye on the left side... I am so sad about it. I am just glad to hear that it is genetic and not something I did. And yes, he is ameraucana (hen ameraucana and rooster is an ameraucana/bantam cochin mix) He is doing really good right now and think I am going to give him a chance, even if that means me taking care of him. I helped him hatch and when he fully came out by himself he hatched in my hand. Now he wants to be with me. I can't help that I can't kill him, but if things start going down hill, I willThats a great hatch rate. Congratulations! You did great.
The chick with the crooked beak sounds like it has scissor beak. It is genetic. I would cull that one. It doesn't happen much but it does happen. I would bet that it is part Ameraucana. They are known for that.
Good luck with them.
