    7 week old silkie randomly developing slight cross beak

    My silkie is about 7 weeks old and I have noticed it’s starting to have slight cross beak. My other silkie from the same hatch is totally fine. I know silkies are more prone to vitamin deficiencies. What can I do to help?

    Cross beak rooster

    I have a cross beak rooster that’s a little over 3 months old now. Aside from him being much smaller than the others he hatched with, he chirps like a baby chick still. I was just wondering if he’ll grow up to be a normal rooster (sitting on hens, crowing etc.)?

    Worried about my crossbeak rooster

    This is special, he's my 15 week old ameraucana rooster I hatched out, that ended up developing crossbeak. I took it upon myself to take care of him since he was like my little baby, he hatched with wry neck which i was able to fix, and became my favorite of the group. For a long time he managed...

The black one is always looking down (maybe a neck deformity?), one orange chick has a slightly misaligned beak and a malformed left eye, the other orange one has a very crossed beak...

    2 wk old chick developing scissor beak

    I have seventeen 2 wk old Easter Egger chicks I'm raising indoors. They all appeared normal at 1 day old. I've noticed one of them is only HALF the size of the others so I singled her out today & inspected her closely. I was shocked & dismayed to see she was already developing scissor beak. I've...

    Cross Beak loves mashed potatoes!

    My scissor/cross beak recently discovered she LOVES mashed potatoes! Just some leftover from our dinner- instant with butter and ranch powder. I’ve tried so many different feeds, mashes, etc and I’m happy to see her eating! She’s smaller than the rest of the flock, so I’d like to continue...

    How to keep mash from spoiling in the summer? Does fermented last longer?

    I have a crossbeak chicken that has a much easier time eating mash than dry crumble. When it was cooler, I could bring her a dish each day, and she would graze all day and was gaining well. In the summer heat (90-100), I have been bringing her small amounts about 4+ times a day for her to gain...

    Beak problems

    I hatched 8 silkies a month and a half ago. I was hoping some of them would be good to start breeding with. I'm not planning to show them necessarily, but I don't want to breed serious genetic problems. Anyway, 3 of the chicks have weird beaks. One is an obvious cross beak and the other two are...

    Scissor Beak small but feisty

    We have a scissor beak hen. We actually named her Scissor. Lol. My question is if she will for sure lay eggs? She also has foot deformities and well… bless her! :) Scissors beak is pretty bad, but we hand feed her daily and we make sure she has access to mash. We used to grind food for her...

    Hatching (Potential) Crossbeak chick--Correctable?

    I am hatching a new batch of easter eggers from a batch of girls I've had for a few years. Just this morning, the first egg pipped and I am very excited for this year's hatch to start.

    Chick with misaligned beak?

    So, my co-nesting hens (random and always one silkie) have just been hatching random babies and my husband just found a little peeper with a misaligned beak. It's very energetic, very alive, but we're just concerned about this kind of deformity or injury. As I was writing this, he did confirm...

    I have a cross beak named Puck. He is a happy little chicken who although is smaller than everyone else is super independent and wild. Yesterday I noticed his head was bobbing.
