From what I can see the beak looks slightly crossed.
Does the chick seem to be able to eat/drink o.k.?
You may need to provide wet feed for her to make it easier.

Here's some info https://the-chicken-chick.com/scissor-beak-aka-crossed-beak-what-it/
Oh I see. So far he seems to be eating fine. I’ve added deeper food and water dishes , but he does seem a bit less active and smaller than the other chicks. I’ll monitor it everyday to see to its needs. Should I keep it in a separate box or is it okay to leave it with others?
