My old friend Crookneck has a crooked beak. Crookneck is a "handicapped chicken". When she was a chick she was dropped and broke her neck. She lived life with all my other chickens, but her neck is all crooked and her head is close to her body. She can't groom herself and she has to move her whole body to peck the ground, but she is on the higher end of the pecking order and is healthy. Today I saw she had a crooked bottom beak. I tried feeding her normal pellets, chick starter and grower feed, cat food and strawberries. She would peck at it, but not get any thing. I also tried mush made out of the pellets. She didn't like that. I felt her crop and it still empty. She is four years old. She has been drinking. I will keep trying to feed her mush and normal food and every thing in between but what else should i do?
