I got a new chick (easter egger) today and when I got her home I noticed her beak was crooked. The top beak hangs to the right ontop of the bottom beak.
Will she be ok? or should I even do anything? Thanks

There isn't much you can do for a crooked beak. If the overhang gets bad, you can carefully trim it with clippers. Otherwise, the chick will adapt to its beak deformity... you just want to avoid using the chick as breeding stock, since this is often genetic and can pass down to its chicks.
