Cross beak or..?

[macmac955]

So I have this chick that’s about 5/6 weeks old and he/she has an oddly positioned beak. They eat and drink fine as far as I know, but should I be worried?

It would appear to be crossbeak, yeah.

It does look mildly cross beaked.. sometimes it worsens with age.

No, I wouldn't be too worried. I would be sure NOT to breed it forward.

You could always get a weekly weight.. so you know if body condition starts to decline, and are able to make adjustments to feeding technique if need is indicated.

He's got crossbeak. Because of his age, I wouldn't be too concerned of it being a huge problem. Just don't breed him because his offspring will be worst. If his beak starts getting too long, you can file his beak down with an emery board nail file.
