Crooked beaked ee

[chickngranny]

My 10 wk old ee has a crossed beak. It crosses so bad i can see her little tongue. i thought about clipping the top beak back some so it could do better eating. The top beak is long and curved that I thought it might help to trim it some. any thoughts?

I don't really know maybe trimming would help like you said. Welcome to byc.

Sorry to hear about your chick. Have a look at this thread:

Hello & welcome!

I'm sorry I can't help either. I don't know anything about beak trimming (I'm new).

Hi and from Ohio. So glad you joined. A Dremal tool works great on trimming beaks and nails. Trim away a little at a time. You may be able to get it to where she will be able to eat just fine.
