toe nails

[bleith]

do you need to trim them?

 

[extraordinaryfowl]

Usually not if they have plenty of room to move around and scratch, but sometimes if they are confined or not active they will need it if the nails get long so they don't break their toes by jumping onto hard dirt or a wood floor.

Nope, unless they are long when you get them. Regular ranging and scratching about will keep the nails the proper length.

I only have to trim my Silkies' nails. Everyone else manages on their own ok.
