I have no idea how this happened to Twisty (that's what we call her - - - she's the only White Wyandotte with a name since they all look alike). She eats and drinks with no problem, so she's adapted. She's very friendly too.

If you plan on keeping her, keep a close eye on that beak. She may not be able to keep it properly worn down, so you may end up having to trim it back every once in a while so she doesn't have difficulty eating/drinking.
 
I have a wyandotte with a crossbeak too. Thats her name, crossbeak. Her beak is similar to Twisty's and she is also the only one of her color to have a name.
Its pretty amazing how they learn to adapt. I am also quite impressed how animals just dont complain about problems and pains the way humans do.
I use a battery operated dremel sander to help her keep the beak from getting too overgrown. The battery kind is way more quiet/ less intimidating.
