Caring For Cross Beaked And Other Special Needs Chickens Including Tube Feeding Techniques

I just came across a new member with a cross beak asking for help, so found your article and skimmed it. I am impressed as it covers everything I've heard over the years but never had to use because I've not had the issue. I just love that I can share this with that new member or, from now on, anyone else who needs guidance! A+++++

Excellent article with a lot of helpful information on the care of crossbeak chickens. This article is very helpful and I often share it with other people who have crossbeaks.

Good information, with sweet stories too!

This is really interesting, I've never seen anyone gavage feed a chicken.

I have a crossed beak chicken and I will try these tips!

This is a good article for a lot of information you may need, but hope to never have to use. Special needs in anything can be challenging to cope with. This makes it less intimidating. Potentially saving birds that would otherwise be culled. Great work.

This article did quite a bit for me:

It let me know that I'm not at all alone in having a cross beak chick. Whew!
It told me that these chicks can survive. That gave me some momentary hope, but it's fleeting, because unless my 7 year-old will take responsibility for her feeding, I'm not going to be able to keep it up. But at least I know what I'm dealing with.
It gave me some ideas on what and how to feed my chick.

These were very helpful!
