    does anyone know about beak deformities?

    We have 3 white crested polish chicks and one of them is developing a beak that crosses. it seems as though it can still eat. As he grows, it gets worse. Has anyone dealt with this or know of anything that can be done to correct it?

    *UPDATE* Our chickens are safe!

    I posted a thread earlier last week about our flock possibly having coryza or some type of infectious virus. A lady from the AG dept came out and tested them and the results came back as a micro bacteria. We are able to still keep all of our flock and none of them will be carriers. I was so...

    Help! First time chicken owner and some of might have coryza!

    Well, the discharge is more like a yellow mucus and we have been cleaning up their faces to keep the mucus away from their eyes and nostrils as much as possible.
