** One eyed Cross Beak Chick !

[HeavenLeeFox]

Yesterday we Hatched out a baby chick that is Different from the rest. It's head is a bit misshapen, Has one eye and a Cross beak. I'm not sure if it can see but has drank water from my finger and it very active. Like a normal chick but Special
Any suggestions to help it thrive would be great. I believe that I should at least give it a chance. I Don't mind a house Chicken. Here's a couple pictures not the greatest but when it sleeping and not moving I will try some more. It is a cross Between Black Copper Maran (Roo) and an Americana (Hen)

@Chey1214 had this exact same issue. Mildred the chick unfortunately didn’t make it but the cross beak is a lot better than your one. It may have internal deformities.

Make sure you have a deep dish feeder filled with wetted crumble

I really hope the little one makes it! Does he/she have a name?

No name yet our grandkids do the naming I hopes so also it is eating a bit off my finger so that's one step in the right direction
