She made it!
This is the first time I’ve ever had a chick hatch out with crossbeak, and it also only had one eye! I did loads of research and it appeared that she would likely struggle with neurological issues too due to the skull deformity, I didn’t think she would make it past the first few days but here we are! Soon she’ll be laying eggs. The only downside to keeping this little one is that I have to grind her pellets down into crumbs and feed her from a deep bowl otherwise she can’t pick up the food, but it’s 100% worth it to keep this sweet little fighter in the flock
