So hopefully I'm in the right place and can get this photo posted.
I have a 6 week old EE, Hula Girl aka Hawkeye, that started developing what looked to be crossbeak aka scissorbeak at about 3 weeks old. I initially got an electric nail file and filed it down as much as I could. It seemed like the top beak was curving over the bottom and obstructing growth from the bottom beak. So I cut the top beak just a bit and I've been applying Green Goo to the puffy sac under the bottom beak. It's been separated from the flock, and seems to be doing great. Jumps on my shoulder every morning and attacks my eyelashes, very active, eats normally, drinks better from nipple than traditional waterer, has trouble preening (as expected) and is slightly smaller than pullets of the same age (separate feeding area as of now).
What about this puffy area under beak? There seems to be no change. Is it infected? It was there before I decided to trim beak.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
