Join me in my personal journey to change the ME that I am...to be the best ME that I can become.
My current home doesn't have a verandah or even a porch but I dream of owning a little farmette again, with a verandah overlooking chickens, goats and gardens. Absolute heaven!
ODDBALL HAS A CROSSED BEAK
Oddball is one of the chicks we got from Cackle Hatchery. My Kid named him/her. OB has a crossed beak. No clue how it eats or drinks, but seems to be growing like the rest of them. Can you see the crossed beak in the pic? Don't worry ... we don't plan to ever sell her. Him. Er, it! Our bantams (this one included) were 6 weeks old yesterday. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Having troubles with blogger's formatting so bear with me! Could someone please tell me why all of a sudden Blogger's formatting doesn't work? Not even with HTML codes?!?!?!?

I have a two year old hen with a crossed beak. She needs deep dishes of food, as she can't pick up seeds, etc. as the other hens do. Every once in a while I trim back the dead ends of her beak, and that seems to help. She also gets soft food treats once in a while.
Thanks for the comment. I do have fairly deep buckets in the adult pens so she'll be ok once she gets there. I also do plenty of treats (spinach, special pancakes, berries, apples and more. She'll have a home with us as long as she wants!
Thanks again.
Poor little oddball. Somedays I feel that I know the kind of life she leads!
