What does a de-beaked chicken look like? (beak trimmed)?

It's important to know some hatcheries de-beak started pullets they sell to the public.

Debeaking causes them to lose weight and will be smaller birds. It also delays maturity. While it will not effect the number of eggs they'll produce once they mature according to research they will remain smaller the rest of their life. Typically 1/3 of the beak is removed using a debeaking machine .After they lose weight they will remain smaller and eat less too.
