Scissor beak hen not able to eat

[spicewood chick]

I have a little scissor beak hen I bought and she is about 4 months old now and was eating ok until we this morning she is weak and obviously can get her food. I give
Them
Chopped tomatoes and squash in afternoon as a treat and she dives into it and now I know it's because she is starving. What can I do to help her eat

Trim her beak just as you would a dog's toenails. Provide moistened mash in a deep bowl so it is easier for her to eat. Good luck.

Mash as in her feed.

Her beaks are so opposite not sure trimming would help

How far back can you trim

Mash as in her feed.

Yes. Are you feeding a grower feed ? If so just moisten it and offer in a fashion that she can scoop it up.

Back to the quick. Start by just taking the tips off.
