dubbing our chickens today

[ChuckenGirl]

yuppers we are dubbing our chickens today and we read alot on it we just need to know 2 things:
will they fight right afterwards?
and this is off topic
but is it illegal in the state of maryland to dub chickens?

Are you asking about dispatching and processing your cockerals?

 

[BirdBrain]

I think he means trimming their combs. Am I right?

 

[MissPrissy]

D'oh! I knew that! I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning

That is a very cruel thing to do. It is also taking off the wattles as well.

Why do you want to do that to your chickens?


Just a note - WHG is a girl.

YUK!

 

[MissPrissy]

I know nothing about modern game birds. But I don't understand why it is done to them. Someone explain how it makes them better for showing.

 

[BirdBrain]

I thought she might be a girl after I wrote that. AAAARGH

WHG,Why are you planning to dub them?

 

[ChuckenGirl]

lol thank you mp.
and we have to take ff there comb. becasue the frostbite is extremly bad. and we want to show them and its a qualifacation for a chicken to be dubbed. i dont want to do it. but if it wasnt for the frostbite i wouldnt do it

 

[MissPrissy]

I can understand for frostbite but just in general to show them I don't get the need for it.

im not sure why they have to be dubbed for show, i think its cause they look better and they do look better after they are dubbed
