I have a 3 month old hen that has a bad case of crossed beak. I'm wondering what would be the easiest foods for her to swallow.

anything easy to digest-food that that she can swallow straight away, good luck

Anything you can get it to eat. Be aware that it usually doesnt go well with cross beak as it tends to worsen quickly. Not many I have heard of survive for long

A mild cross may work but the more severe the less chance of survival.

Shes smaller than any average sized 3 month old chickens. And still shes a bantam.
 
I have a top hat chick with a cross beak a bit worse then yours - my vet is looking in to clipping the beak once she gets a bit bigger - she is doing some research on it. Good luck, mine likes oatmeal, soaked egg layer crumple and bread crumbs
 
La Mike and SoFluffy- Thank you for the caution
shamo30-I will try those.
Thank you all
