   Somewhere over the rainbow, AKA Pennsylvania

   I have a 3-week old Serama chick, and I recently found out that her beak is crooked! The top part of the beak folds over the bottom part. I know that most chicks die from this, and I bonded with this chick even before she hatched! I can't lose her. Is there any possible way to fix this? Any way at all??
   
   I love this little chick. I don't want to lose her.

   You can't fix it, but you can do a little trimming (later) if needed. There are lots of threads on here about cross beak, how to be sure they get enough to eat, etc.
   
   Here is an article on caring for cross beak birds
