This pullet has the lower beak sticking out to the right. She is from mcmurry and is already 13 weeks old. She is bit smaller than the others but not by to much.
Do you think she will be able to live in a flock of about 25 as a full grown bird?

I'm thinking 'she' may be a cockerel (a profile picture could help determine that), and there may be a time when she is unable to eat adequately in a flock situation. Deep dish feeding of moistened feed can help birds like this.
 
Unfortunately, deformities like that usually get worse as he gets older though it may not have any where else to go.
