Hello, I have three new chicks who are about 4 weeks old. One, a silkie seems to have a scissor beak. I read if it is "not serious" they can usually be fine, just smaller and fewer eggs, which doesn't bother me.
I'm trying to figure out what counts as not serious though. So far she seems active and healthy. The other two are a RIR and a Barred Rock so she is much smaller then them, but I'm not sure if that is just being a silkie or if she is suffering. I'm hoping for some advise on what to look for, any special care I should give her, etc.
