    Rooster down, can't stand up

    Scissor beak? How do we help?

    We have a 3 month old, scissor beak that we hatched and it is pretty severe. He is eating and growing well, but he keeps running backwards like he is in pain. We had another, but he was in the egg a very long time, and we think he had brain damage. Ducky, our scissor beak, is our baby. We don't...
