Hi all,
Before I ask my question, culling is not an option.
I have a flock of 14 hens and have too many (8) roosters. They get along for the most part but occasionally they will fight but get over it.
The only issue I have with them working it out are eye injuries. I've had 2 get eye injuries. One is partially blind and the other is fully blind.
Can I grind down (Dremel) beaks and spurs to make them blunt? Not sure what causes the damage in a fight. Would this prevent eye damage and other injuries?
I apologize if this is a stupid question but I'm fairly new to this and any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
