Help my chicken has really bad scissor beak!!

[Ducklover17191]

Hi I have a silkie with a significantly bad scissor beak. He is much smaller than the others but he seems to be healthy. He is about 5 weeks old. I will include a picture. Can anyone tell me if he will survive or live a normal life? I haven’t seen many as bad as this. And I may also need some advice on how to care for him

Have you had him the entire 5 weeks?

If he has made it this long chances are he will continue to do so. I would just make sure that he is eating and drinking. He may get picked on by others because chickens tend to pick on the chickens that look different or may be weaker. Just keep an eye on him.

Yes we have had him all the 5 weeks, he is not really being picked on so that’s good. And I also read to add water to there food to make it a mush so it clumps better so I did. And he was still eating and drinking before this but I’m sure not very much made it in to his mouth

How is your baby? I am putting water, chick feed and baby food puree combined for my girl. Also bought a nipple waterer. She seems better.
