crossbeak

Tldr: How long does it take for the quick to receed after trimming? Hello! I recently adopted a crossbeak, and while without any beak intervention by her pervious owner for the past 1.5 years, I just know with some maintenance she can really thrive. I gave her a trim not long after we got her...

I bought 19 chicks from a store that gets birds from Hoovers Hatchery. Out of the last group I bought, I ended up with a crossbeak. I didn't notice it until day 2 and I probably should've culled but I didn't out of hopes she will be semi independent as an adult. (Able to feed and water...

Hey yall. We recently (today) purchased a hen from someone at a faire as she seemed like she needed some extra TLC and we have a good quiet flock for her to thrive in. She's apparently a 1 year old Ameraucana, missing tail feathers, back feathers, comb didn't look too great but I'm mostly...

So I have a 5 week old Satan that’s started to go crossbeak, but it’s like her jaw or bottom beak is sliding out of place… it’s very slight but this happened in the course of 4 days. I notice when she pecks at the ground, if she strikes it just right she started having extreme head tilts. Sort...

For the past half a year my sweet crossbeak girl was struggling with chicken lice, we tried many things to treat her and nothing worked until some prescribed imvermectin spray a month or 2 ago! We've had no more signs of live lice on her but there are some very stubborn lice egg clumps in her...

I have a crossbeak/scissor beak EE and she's been eating mash for a while. She has stopped gaining weight and is less than 1/4 the size of her siblings. I've began tube feeding her 20ml twice a day. Is this enough? She isn't able to eat anything so the only food she gets is from tube feeding...

I have this chick who was born about a week ago , he was born with a cross beak and missing one eye. He can’t walk , or stand he falls right over. He can’t feed or drink water himself. Anyone know what I can do to help it learn to walk. Or could it be he never will due to the deformities it was...

My little crossbeak Americana is 9 months old and yesterday we found her just about upside down in the run of the chicken coop. I had started to notice that day that she was feeling unwell and was getting my husband to help bring her inside and that is when we found her laying on the floor. She...

this little dude is 3 weeks old today. The crossbeak was noticeable within a couple days from hatch, but has been getting progressively worse. He / she is still eating and drinking normally and growth is fine. I have recently read about trimming the beak with guillotine per nail clippers, is...

I have this 2 month old about cross beak pullet and I've solved the not eating issue my big problem now is cleanliness after meals. This chick eats mush and I put things like veggies, some chicken food, and mackerel all mixed with water. The food gets so dry and caked on so quick while she's...

Hawkeye aka Hula girl is my favorite girl. From the day I discovered her beak was a little different from her mates she did nothing but fight. She proved to me time after time I was wrong, she was a tough old bird, and she would fight for her life against all odds. I decided to trim the upper...

Hey there peeps. I need help on figuring out what feeding tube catheter size I need for my severely cross beaked chick. Its a month old about and looks to be an Easter egger. I think from the opening of its mouth to the gullet its maybe 5 inches unless I'm way off his neck just seems longer than...

So hopefully I'm in the right place and can get this photo posted. I have a 6 week old EE, Hula Girl aka Hawkeye, that started developing what looked to be crossbeak aka scissorbeak at about 3 weeks old. I initially got an electric nail file and filed it down as much as I could. It seemed like...

I searched and searched for info and pictures that showed or told me exactly where/how to insert the feeding tube in the correct hole. I don’t think it’s really possible to see the hole . You just dont want it to go down the hole in the middle that you can actually see when looking into open...
