One of them has a slightly hooked beak. She’s eating fine, growing with the rest, so I’m keeping an eye on her for now.

So far I love having chickens and watching how fast they grow! View attachment 1834031

I didn't notice my little cross beak at first. I have had a couple of cross beaks and they did fine. Gladys couldn't deal with pellets so I gave her crumbles. She turned out to be the friendliest bird I have ever had. She always wanted to be with us and held. She would jump up into our laps and would come when she was called. A boy I had seemed to do ok with the pellets. I did sell him with some other males because I had way too many males. I actually gave him to a fellow. You will have to watch it and may have to trim it now and then.

I just got the courage to clip the beak. It was easier than I thought it would be! She didn’t mind the clipping at all. Being wrapped in a towel wasn’t her favorite thing but it did calm her down.
