This is if youre running a medium to large operation. For anyone who has like 4 chickens, you can tend to the birds more difficult lifestyle. Cross beak chickens compensate for beak misalignment by scooping their food up with their bottom beak- so you can set thicker food out so they can get it. Also can give them baths and cut the quicks of their beaks every other month. Its a lot of work that most people won't do, but it's not like having to shoot the horse, either.
