    Interesting crooked beak (not cross-beak)

    Hey BYC fam! :wee So I’ve got an interesting girl (pictured) who has a fully crooked beak. It’s not a cross beak, it’s just all slanted to one side. It’s pretty dramatic, I’ve never seen anything like this before that wasn’t actual cross beak, wonder if anyone else has? She’s a red sex link...

    4 week old chick with deformity- curved beak and possibly blind in one eye?

    A couple weeks ago, I "rescued" some 2ish week old chicks from my local feed store. These poor babies seemed to be the rejects due to one reason or another (having been picked on terribly, very small/poor feathering for their ages, and all with terrible pasty bum). I couldn't bare to see them...

    Slightly Crooked Beak

    It's more obvious in person, but this 4 week old (ish) chick has a slightly crooked beak. The top and bottom still meet, but will this turn into something worse?

    Call Duckling with Deformed Bill - HELP! Need Advice

    I have a call duckling that hatched with a deformed bill. It looks similar to scissor beak/crooked beak you find in chickens, but I think he only has one nostril. His tongue is also exposed so I’m constantly worried it’s going to dry out and cause him pain or make it difficult to eat. Right now...

    Chick with Severe Crooked Beak

    10 day old crooked beak EE... is she going to be ok?

    We found that our 10-day-old-EE pullet, Mercy, had a crooked beak forming around a week ago. Since then, it’s gotten a lot worse visually, but it doesn’t seem to be taking a toll on her quality of life at all. She drinks fine, and though she tends to spend a little bit more time with food than...
