Overgrown beak??

[TinyTotsSeramas]

I just wanted to post this headshot of one of my little Serama pullets affectionately named "Hawk" to see if anyone else thought her upper beak is slightly longer then it should be? She earned the name "Hawk" because I think from a profile veiw, she looks like a baby hawk lol

Here is a picture of "Shiloh" as a comparison..

here are some baby pictures of Hawk just to show her off

It looks like a normal beak to me.

when I look at her beak compaired to the other babies in her hatch, her's looks like a parrot beak IMO. Her top beak goes over her bottom beak where as the others are flush with eachother.. I just wanted to see if anyone else seen it.. apparently not.
I guess im just going crazy! lol

(they need a smiley that is pulling its hair out!)

She looks OK for now. If it continues to curl more just cut the tip of it like you would your finger nails and you could even file it some with an emery board to smooth it back out.

I do see what you're talking about, about the upper beak extending further over the lower beak than your other chick's. But I think that's a normal variation. Just keep an eye on it and if it seems to become even longer then you may have to trim it periodically.

I put a cement stepping stone in the pen and put their feed pan on it. They wipe their beaks on it and file them down.
