Pullet? 13 week old Wyandotte

[Vaprairiebluebells]

It's not as severe as many I have seen.
As she ages things can change and she may need her beak trimmed to help her eat. Only time will tell how she will do.

The crossbeaks I have had also had other skeletal issues.
The longest lived one made it to 6 years old. When she molted you could clearly see one side of her entire body looked like it was shifted down and back.
While her beak wasn't severely crossed I did have to give her food as a wet mash. It wasn't much extra work at all. I simply add hot water to the feed and within 5-10 minutes it has absorbed it.
In fact even though she is gone I still give wet mash to the flock every morning.

Thanks so much for all your information! She’s very friendly and I’m having she’ll continue to thrive.
