I have seventeen 2 wk old Easter Egger chicks I'm raising indoors. They all appeared normal at 1 day old. I've noticed one of them is only HALF the size of the others so I singled her out today & inspected her closely. I was shocked & dismayed to see she was already developing scissor beak. I've raised chickens for 8.5 yrs now & have never run into this before so I'm CLUELESS what to do for her...or even if she can survive seeing as how quickly it's developing.
She appears quite active & feisty & with a strong will to live. That said, I don't want her to suffer if there's no hope for her. I'm going to try attaching a picture so you can assess how bad it is.
