Help!!! 4 week old silkie with crooked beak!

[gertiesmom]

Hello all! I hope someone can help! I just noticed today that one of my silkie chicks has a crooked beak. I'm always cleaning watermelon juice off her face and today was the first I saw this. I don't know if she hurt herself or if this is how scissor beak starts. Her mouth opens ok, she's eating and acting normal otherwise. Am I missing something?? I've never seen this! I googled and looked at a bunch of posts on here, but haven't seen any pics that look like hers...I say her but don't know yet. Also her siblings beak looks normal, the last 2 pics are of her. Any advice would be greatly appreciated being I can't talk to the vet till tomorrow.
Thank you,
Amy

It looks like a small case of scissor beak, I wouldn’t worry about it too much if she can eat and drink normally. I have a hen with scissor beak and she gets around fine.

Ok thank you! Will it get worse as she grows?

It doesnt look terrible just make sure as she grows to watch it....I had one that I carefully trimmed but if you dont know how dont do it, it can serously damage there beak maybe give her a cylinder bock to help her self.

Thank you! I don't know how to trim ,this is the first I've seen it. But I'll ask my vet how.

It might get a little worse, trimming her beak here and there will help make eating more comfortable for her.
