11 week old chick. Mild cross beak?!!

[Alv401]

Hello all. My 11 week Russian orloff started showing more signs of her beak starting to cross. I am wondering how much worse this will get and if I can do anything to help. We did recently trim the top part of the beak back. If this stays minor she should have a good life but I am wondering how it will impact her if it gets worse. There aren’t a lot of post of mild cross beak. Thanks!!

It's fairly mild, and at 11 weeks it shouldn't really worsen that much from where it is now since a lot of the growing up has already happened. Keep an eye on it and be prepared to file down the tip or edges maybe once a month, but it should do fine as it is.

Thank you for the reply!
