Unfortunately my chick passed away. She just couldn't get the nourishment she needed. Her lower beak also had some issues going on, it was very short and almost seemed like it was broken behind the skin. There was an old thread with a chick with the same problem and I got ahold of the person who...
2nd time this has happened in the last 2 months or so. One of my hens lays a small white egg with a very thin shell, sounds almost like glass. Anyone ever run into this?
Ok cool thank you so much for your help!! I've been worried about this one for a few weeks. I got 2 chicks and 1 passed away so I'm hoping to God's it's not a cockerel! Because then I would have to get rid of it
I'll probably try the beak clipping and leave some clumpy food available for her like you suggested. Maybe nobody here has had any experience with this?

I know this is an old thread but I'm curious as to what happened with your chick? As I have the same problem with my amerucana chick. And the same small bump under her lower beak. I trimmed what I could for now and the pic is a few hours after.
