7 week old silkie randomly developing slight cross beak

[kalerae15]

My silkie is about 7 weeks old and I have noticed it’s starting to have slight cross beak. My other silkie from the same hatch is totally fine. I know silkies are more prone to vitamin deficiencies. What can I do to help?

Do you have photos of your chicks?

Cross-beak, Scissor-beak, etc. is a genetic disorder. There's usually nothing you can do to correct the beak, but you can accommodate her if she's struggling to eat/drink.
