I went to take care of two week olds tonight and noticed one has developed horrible cross beak. I know it wasn't there before. She is same size as others, I can't believe I missed this. Is it possible it just happened? I have picked these girls up multiple times daily, I cannot believe I missed this. I admit i was looking for pasty butt instead of cross beak, but geesh, think i would have noticed it. Only 25 in my brooder. If it appears suddenly is it worse? I have done some looking at other posts, but would like some other input. I will cull her (sounds like I mean it, oh my gosh, I don't want to do it) if I have to, and I will make it quick, but any input?
I edited to add these pics.
She is a really beautiful chick, here is a pic of her wings, much brighter than many of the other EE in the group of 25
