I also have a cross beak chick that is 4 weeks old,
I didn't notice it when she was tiny but there is NO MISSING it now.
She is the same size as other chicks so she is eating and drinking.
Trying to decide if she can learn to deal with her, or if I should put her down now.
her scull/jaw area even now is pretty deformed by my observation
Can anyone help me judge this? I have a friend who is buying a bunch of my chicks in about 3 weeks when they are off heat in a free range situation. My feeling was to give her to that woman and give her a "chance" She is also a vet tech so she would have the skills to do some filing and dremeling to her beak if needed.
thanks,
