Phosphorus Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 My little black has developed a (genetic - I think as from 4 weeks) crossed beak. Sticking with it for now until I find out if s/he is a girl or boy. She is growing fine at the moment and it isn't too pronounced yet.

Lewis Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 As long as shes ok I don't think its a problem, you should avoid breeding from her though. Over time the 2 sides could wear down and make it a bot more normal looking? I think its quite cute though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have a table bird with a crossed beak, she is pretty much fully grown, it has not caused her any problems at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over time the 2 sides could wear down and make it a bot more normal looking? I think its quite cute though I'll keep her (if a girl ) as long as she is eating okay, definately putting on the weight even though it has worsened over the last week. Don't intend to breed from her . So far so good - it is a bit cheeky looking I presume she might have a problem when we move to pellets rather than mash. Do you think boy or girl? Difficult at this stage and I have no comparism as only one black hatched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
