New chick with odd beak

[M.pineda]

Just picked up 2 baby chicks at Farm N Fleet yesterday. I got a real good look at them today and noticed my silver laced wyandotte has a longer bottom beak. Is this something I should be concerned about? She is noticeably smaller than the other chick I got but she's also supposed to be and easter egger and my EE already has so feather development so I'm assuming she's a little bit older anyways. My little silver is eating and spunky from what I've seen today. She wasn't the smallest in her bunch, but there weren't very many either. My daughter picked her out...

Not an expert, but I think that if she is capable of eating and drinking without any issues, there shouldn't be a problem.

It should grow out in time. It looks like it was chipped off at some point.

Just keep a watch on the beak and be ready to file the lower if it starts getting out of alignment.

It's fine...

thank you guys, this is the 2nd time I've had chicks and the first time I had no idea what I was doing and had the underdog chick from the school hatch program, so now that I know more I know of what things to look for (sort of) so I'm more of a worry wart now.

I think her egg beak fall off will grow back soon no worries
