The chickens with crooked beaks or “scissors beak” can get worse as the chicken grows up. These things may be genetic or due to a vitamin/mineral deficiency in the parents. Most people trim the beaks as you have, and feed the chickens out of a deeper bowl. Adding water to the chicken feed to make it moist may help it get empnough to eat, but make it fresh daily in a clean bowl. She is a cute bird, and I hope she does well. This is a common problem.
