    crooked beak

    can a 4 week old chick survive if its beak is crooked and actually crosses over its self, we just noticed that it was so crooked but as far as i can tell the chick is eating and drinking. i pretty sure you cannot fix it, so i guess i am asking would it best to cull it now or just wait and see??
