Twisted beak

[wolftracks]

I have a 3 month old AM cockerel who was doing great and looked great.
Friday he started limping. Saturday morning he was a little better. He was dusting when I saw him yesterday.
Today I went out to open the pen and let the youngsters out in the yard for a while. I looked at him and he was puffy, there's feathers missing on one side of his face near his eye and it's swollen shut and I swear it didn't look like this friday, but his beak is twisted. It's like something grabbed him and turned his face. The beak has never looked like this that I noticed, but today it really showed up to where I chased him down and took a look. I hold these birds all the time. I have no idea when this happened, but would have noticed it when I checked him out on friday. I spent a lot of time with them that day.
How can this just happen? Has anyone had one that just ended up like this at 3 months? I'm heartbroken. I love this little guy and have no idea what happened. He's following me around with the other two from that hatch, but he just doesn't look like the same bird.

OK I was wondering. If my little guys face is swollen, can that make it look like he has cross beak???
