Is there anyway to make it from progressing? Chicks are 9 days old and one of our favorites already, I picked up last night and the bottom beak is slanted to the side. It is nothing terrible yet. But I don't want it getting worse if I can prevent it.
Not really. Trimming it a little bit at a time might help, and feeding in a very deep dish helps too. A cockrel might make it to butchering time, but a pullet will have a hard time when she come in lay keeping up her weight. There's a thread here somewhere con these chicks, but I personally have given up on them, as far as long term survival is concerned. So sorry, Mary
