All my Easter eggers have weird beaks

[picklestheduck]

Hey everyone, several weeks back I bought some Easter eggers and black australorps and as they get older it’s clear that most if not all of the Easter eggers have beaks that are stuck like a tiny bit open/possibly overgrown. I trimmed a few of them and filed the tips of them and it seemed to help, but several others seem to be getting a tad bit worse. I’m not home now, I’ll attach old pictures and get new ones when I return home. Pictures are only of two chicks that I filed and trimmed a bit. They seemed to have had the worst cases at the time. My question is, is this just a “bad batch”? Like is it a breeding problem? Or am I doing something wrong? They have a chick waterer and a chick feeder with chick feed in their brooder. They are actually in the house now due to some issues with outbuildings I had wanted to put them in, but we will move them out soon.

Easter eggers are the little inbred purse dogs of the chicken world, prine to all sort of issues

Is there anything I can do other than trim and file the tips a bit?

Deeper feeders will help but it shouldn't need too much attention

Offer them a cement brick in their pen they will usually take care of their beak themselves. I find that Easter Eggers seem to have a little bit longer beaks than the rest of my chickens anyway but doesn’t cause them any problems.
