Scissor beak or injury

[AlissaS]

Her beak wasn't like this till about 3 or 4 days ago. Which is also when they started spending more time outside. She is about 5ish weeks. I don't know if it's an injury or scissor beak but also not sure how late scissor beak would show up either.

It could be an injury, but injuries can cause scissor beak.

In case it was an injury and might still heal, try giving her/them all vitamin water every other day for a week or two. It would do no harm and may help. We use poultry cell here.

As long as she's eating and drinking fine, there's nothing you really need to worry about unless it gets worse or she starts having issues. Most I know of use deeper dishes for theirs and wet crumbles for food, but those are all much worse cases.

Thank you and yes she seems to eat and drink just find. She went crazy on some watermelon. I hope it heals it's self. And I'll be getting some vitamin supplements for their water. We have 3 different water set ups. One in the small chicks coop and 2 in the big run. This chick is the youngest in the small chicks club I have one that is about 6 weeks old and 2 that are 7 weeks old and 2 more that are 8 close to 9 weeks old but just not big enough to go with the bigger chicks.
