I have a ee pullet chick with a cross beak. So far it is mild. The problem is I'm raising 219 chicks right now. ( I'm starting a pastured egg farm) I want to give her away to someone who has fewer chicks and can make sure she gets enough to eat. She hatched May 22nd is vaccinated for marek's, and my best guess is she will be a light blue or splash partridge in color, (like a welsummer with blue/splash). She is in a pasture brooder and eats chick starter just fine but I have yet to see her eat bugs or grass. This condition is a recesive genetic trait and she is not for breeding just a pet who lays eggs. She will need a deep feed dish and every so often her new owner will need to file her beak down a little. I'm in Lacey Washington. So if you are in the area, are raising chicks this spring and want one more send me a PM.
