I have a chick that is 6 days old. It has a bit of cross beak and I'm wondering if there is anything special I need to do with it. It seems to be eating and drinking just fine and is proportionate in size to the other 15 chicks that are the same age. I have included a picture of what the chick looks like. Thanks!

In my experience, crossed beaks get worse as the bird grows causing all sorts of problems. Its up to you wether thats something youre willing to deal with.
 
You could use layer mash and add some yogurt to it. If it gets really severe you may have to do a routine trimming of their beak.
