I’ve read a bit that you can tape or rubber band as they grow to help realign.

Does anyone have experience with this?

It seems fairly minor at the moment and her growth is okay.

Following. I have a blind baby girl that also has a minor cross beak. Interested in people's thoughts, as I was told it will be fine.

Hey!! Just wondering if Jmash or mybackyardpeepers had any luck with they're cross beaked chicks. Did keeping their beak aligned lead to eventually not needing it at all or has it become and everyday maintenance. By that I mean that with out your intervention would it naturally want to go back out of alignment?
