This doesn’t look like anything I’ve seen before. I searched and searched in this group and this to me doesn’t look like cross beak or scissor beak. Any ideas. Please help! PS…he doesn’t have any trouble eating or drinking

He's malformed. There's nothing you can do, I'm sorry.

As long as he’s able to eat and drink there’s no reason to cull him though right? It’s so crazy because when we brought them all home it wasn’t like that

It will likely continue to get worse, putting pressure on his brain. Birds like that don't live very long and it's a slow way to go. I'm sorry.

It’s called being parrot beaked. It can be malformed or some breeds do have the mutation. What breeds were the parents?

His face is twisted to the side, it could be a mutation.

I didn’t noticed the face until you mentioned it. @amberc1983 is it the angle of the picture or is it’s face twisted as well?

Definitely not a breed known for the mutation. If he is having no issues other than the beak I would leave him be. There are breeds that survive just fine with their parrot beaks. I would however, not breed him as there is a good chance he will pass it on to offspring.
