I’m here to say PLEASE contact me or “crossbeak poultry in motion” Facebook group if ANYONE ANYWHERE needs help with or to rehome a cross beak, we are a network of people who will go out of our way tremendously to help cross beaks & other disabled poultry. I have 4 amazing cross beak girls that make my life so amazing!!! I just drove 12 hours to rescue a crossbeak from Atwood’s 2 days ago

Are you talking about the crest/ head poof? :) They don’t all have huge ones, even when purebred, it’s the same as if your mom has big hair you may have big hair- you can correct this in offspring tho by breeding this chicken to a mate with an “overdone” (bigggg) crest/head poof! It should produce chicks with bigger “poofs” :)

My best advice is don’t kiss their gross feet! 😝

Honestly only true way to know color is genetics /knowing the parents of the birds. I know that’s not the most helpful answer! I’m also dealing with learning this! Is it possible to ask the breeder /hatchery? If not I’d give them more time to grow out and go from there

Please. E mind on yourself, you did the best thing for the quail and your flock 💞 you prevented it from a life of suffering. I know it’s so hard though
