Hello and welcome to BYC!

Congrats on your new chicks! Definitely follow the link @N F C has left for you on caring for cross beaks. As the chick grows, usually the beak gets worse and the bird can't eat. You will eventually need to either hand feed or tube feed. @Liz Birdlover has a cross beak bird she cares for, she can give you lots of tips.

Best wishes with your new flock!
