Hello everyone! I'm new to Backyard Chickens and a first time chicken owner! So far this site has been incredibly useful! So I'm hoping you can help me out. My chicks are almost 3 weeks old. One of my chicks has scissor-beak. Based on other images I've seen, hers seems to be a really bad case. I noticed she is not gaining weight like the rest of the crew. I've seen her drink water and she seems to have no issue there. However, when she eats, she definitely struggles. I've given them a mash of yogurt and starter - they love it but she still seems to struggle. I've heard the beak only gets worse as she grows. I want her to survive but I don't want her to suffer. Any tips, advice, etc on how to handle this??
