She was supposed to be vaccinated for Mareks

Chickens that are vaccinated can still unfortunately get it. They are just less likely to show symptoms.

Oh, well, I'm still hoping that's not what it is. Sicknesses suck.

The vaccine doesn't prevent infection, it just lessens the likelihood of tumors.

It developed as time went on. Not visible as a young chick, but it got worse as time went on. I give her mash and oatmeal all the time and she's thriving!

Could've been genetic, & not noticed at the beginning.

Thank you. Causes of crossbeak can be genetic, due to injury, or a cause of a nutritional deficiency. I have three hens with crossbeak.

Scissor beak is genetic i bred a hen with it and all her chicks had it all where culled afterwards

Interesting. I have some that I think are because of injury.

Yeah it probably is. We hatched her on our farm after all.
