My little EE girl is starting to have beak issues
It doesn't close all the way now, it was always a little "off", not much....most people wouldn't have ever noticed, but as she is maturing there is definently a gap inbetween her top and bottom beak.
She's 19 weeks, a complete sweetheart wrapped up in a cute banty package. I tried to trim the end of the top beak but was unsure about the bottom, I don't know if I can help her or not. She's fine now, lives the free-range life with all of the other girls, but I don't want there to be a problem down the road with something I could have prevented.
Any ideas for my girl?
(And no--normally I don't bring chickens in the house! LOL But I needed good lighting and it was hot outside).
Up close....it does close a little more than this, but you can see the top is really arched
This is "normal" for her
My sweet girl "Chicken Hawk"!--had to show her off
Someone please tell me I am making a big deal out of nothing!
