This is Auggie. He hatched Aug 13th 2020. He is a cross between an Easter Egger and Polish. He has what I've been calling an "underbeak" (for lack of the proper term) and a very mild cross beak. His under beak has gotten worse but the scissor beak hasn't changed and maybe even improved a bit. I didn't notice until recently that his top pallet curves downward and seems much thicker than normal. The slit seems to be further back than normal too. His comb is different than I'm used to see as well. The incubator he was in has proved to be unstable and unreliable and I feel like that's the root of Auggie's deformities (also had another scissor beak in the same clutch of eggs that didn't survive long). Other than providing him with deep dishes so he's able to scoop, is there anything else I can do to help him? Will his beak continue to worsen as he gets older?
