Blue Ameraucana with Scissor Beak. HELP!!!

[DarthLayer]

Hi, this is the first time one of my chickens have got scissor beak and I have never dealt with this before. What is the easiest way to care for her? I have read other people use nail files but she is a little skittish and that might be stressful for her. I will post a picture of her tomorrow.

Thanks

I had an old friend years ago who got a whole batch of these. She fed them crumbles and kept the food deep in a (back high) trough type wooden feeder. They could peck and get a mouthful this way. She kept them all with their condition.
