Severe cross beak chick.

[Nikki816]

This little one is 3 weeks old. We noticed around 4 days old that its beak was crossing and it has worsened exponentially since then. Does it have a chance at a good life? Or should I put it down now? Tube feeding it as an adult is not an option.

Some people find success with making a mash for the food.
Crossbeak can worsen as they age.
Is it eating and drinking?

I started it on Mash yesterday. And it looks like its drinking from the waterer. I am more concerned about its quality of life later if it has gotten this bad this quickly. It went from not really noticeable to barely any overlap in 2 weeks

Hey how did your chick get on? I have a similar case so interested to know. Hoping they are thriving!
