Crooked beak

[LoveHuevos]

This chick is a little over a month old and it has a crooked beak. She's eating and growing fine, but I'm not sure if she's in pain. Is there anything that can be done about her beak?

I recently culled one of these birds. They require extra care with this disability. It's an incredible commitment.

Oh, no! She's so sweet. I would need to clean it all the time, correct?

Possibly feed her every day, water her every day. The problem will only get worse and there is no way to correct it. It also involved regular beak trims.

So as her beak grows, it'll get worse? Ouch! She's going to have a really bad underbite.

Pick her up and feel her breast bone and compare it with other chickens her size/age.?
