I just noticed it maybe a week ago. They're probably 2-3 months old, maybe ... don't remember when I bought them.
It's not crossbeak ... the whole beak is crooked & growing to, I think, the left. The other 2 are fine. It acts fine, active, eats, even uses the waterer with chicken nipples.

Does anyone have chickens with crooked beaks??
 
Yep, I call it a "twist". Usually when I say crooked, people assume crossbeak. Anyway, they've all done just fine with them. I've gotten a few Silkies with a "twist" while trying to acquire my breeding flock. Obviously I rehomed them as they aren't fit for breeding, but my SIL took one and she's made a great egg layer and momma hen. It'll make a great pet ;)
