Not sure if I’m posting this under correct subject so I apologize in advance. I have a young(almost)2 week old chick with scissor beak. I’ve been offering her mash just to be on the safe side to help her out and I think excess feed must be drying up on beak. How can I clean her up(if i even should) without hurting her? I gently tried wiping it with a wet tissue and she made a noise as if that hurt her. Is this normal? Last question is.. i feel like the severity of cross beak has progressed quite a bit in such a short period of time.. is that typical of a chick with cross beak? I attached photos of her beak to make sure it is actually feed dried up and to see if it did progress of if it’s just me worrying. Sorry this is my first time having a chick or chicken with scissor beak so any advice on caring for her would be greatly appreciated! First three were taken a couple hours ago.. last one was when I first got her.
