How's the chick?Yes his skull is mishaped and thats a possibility
aw she is adorable!! My crossbeak chicken Thin Mint (showed in my avatar) LOVES oatmeal (make sure its old fashioned oats though!). She is the sweetest and her buddy is Popcorn our calico princess hen. I mix crumbles with water so it has a similar consistency as oatmeal since her crossbeak is so severe (the bottom part goes all the way to the side, the picture of her in my avatar is from last year). Sizzy's markings are so pretty too!!! Thin Mint is part bantam cochin silkie so she has the fluffiest legs, feet, and muffs+beard. Her mother was a black copper maran so she has kept the golden copper ring around her neck.I would give it a chance at life! If it has a really hard time eating I would cull sometimes you have to think of quality of life, but just to prove it is possible to keep a scissor beak chicken.This is Sizzy she is now one year one months old and is happy and healthy. She can eat by herself for the most part. I sometimes take their feed and mix it with water to make a mash to make it easier for her to eat, and I do have to trim her beak but it is possible to keep disabled chickens. She also has a best friend called munchkin she has a deformed leg and in the past had lots of health issues. But is now doing the best she has ever been! Im not sure what to do about the eye though.
What happened to him?He has started to peck at things and Im hoping he will start to eat one his own
