Hi!
I noticed my hen has a vertical crack in her beak. It does not seem to affect her. I feel better reading the post above. What would be the best glue to use when glueing the beak? I also read in a post that some people crop their birds beaks. Is that a necessity, kind of like trimming dog nails? I am new to having chickens and so far adore my three girls and of course I want to try to give them the best care.
Another question: My birds are not around other chickens, however are turned out with our two labs (they thinkthe chickens are dogs too) and I am wondering when, or should I de-worm my hens? If so, how much de-wormer (liquid I would imagine) and how much water per liquid wormer. My girls are 5 months old.
Thank you for the help!
