Beaks need clipping??

[pretend farmer]

I've noticed that on of my hens has more beak on the top beak then one the bottom one on either side. I'm wondering if I can and should clip their beaks and if so, how??

I beleive you shouldn't clip beaks unless the chickens start to peck other chickens. Two of my RIR roosters were pecking a young Cornish cock and their beaks weren't clipped. I gave them away though....... If you decide to just use finger nail clippers, and cut a little off the end dont cut too far or they will bleed

hope this helps

I wouldn't clip it. Maybe make sure there's a stone or brick she can rub her beak on...sometimes they do that...

 

[turkengirl]

yeah my chickens do that

And there was me watching a chicken rubbing her beak while watching my cats bum. I thought it looked like sharpen my beak and your flurry black cat bum is mine!
