I have an Easter Egger with a crooked beak. We are new to the chicken seen, and I don't think she is going to make it? What can I do to help or do I just?????

Can you post a picture? How old is she? Why do you think she's not going to make it? I have an EE with scissor beak and she gets along just fine. She has to work harder than the others to eat, but she manages.
Here are a couple of photos of her:

Sometimes they can do just fine with a mild cross beak without any intervention. If the malformation is too severe it can't be helped and some would cull. I agree a picture would be very helpful.
 
I am sad to say that she has passed on. I would take her out from the others to feed her, but she just was not growing. I did everything to help her along but it just didn't work.
Thank you for your replies.
