Ruth, you are very welcome. I am happy that God has helped
me to stay online and even to upgrade to DSL so that I can
download video clips from i-Phones as well as photos of
baby poultry in need of treatment

hmmmmmmm......it seems that your poult has "cross beak".
This is extra bad if a bird is hatched with beak already
crossed. I have had chickens that had a genetic defect that
caused beaks to cross when chicks were about six weeks old
due to one side growing faster than the other. If this
happens slowly it is possible to do corrective trimming
which has to be done a tiny bit at a time because of nerves
and blood vessels in beaks.
If your poult can not get beak open to eat it will die
even before you can kill it to end its suffering.
