Without going into much history, I received a mailing of day old chicks about two weeks ago. I have a mottled houdan that looks like her beak is dislocated. The top part of the beak is placed fine, the bottom is over to the right, it doesn't close completely. It is very noticeable now, actually seems to be worse then when I first noticed it a week ago.
I have been watching her closely to make sure she's eating and drinking, and she really is. She's very active as well. I have actually pinched the two parts back together (gently) with no fuss from her (she fussed more over picking off poo) but it goes back to this original dislocated looking position.
Should I worry over it? Is there anything I can do? Bless her heart, she looks so strange...
Thanks! I've been a lurker for quite some time!
