Beaks and toenails - advice needed.

Ever since I read here that beaks and toenails may sometimes need trimming I have been trying to see if my lot are OK.
I think they are, but any input or advice is most welcome.

Babs seems to have quite short nails - consistent with her status as master-digger. I missed out on her beak so will look at that later.

Piglet posed for her toenail and beak shot. WDYT? Tienails a bit long?

Bernie seems to have one toenail out at an angle. Is it getting too long? Trimming Bernie’s toenails might require professional assistance so I am hoping they are OK.

Thanks for your help everyone.
My opinion: a little long, but not excessive. About what I see around here this time of year (not much digging in winter). They tend to file themselves over the next month or so. If they don't file down by ... oh...say mother's day, you could file. (Also gives you time to practice techniques). You could put some lava rocks in a corner of the Palace. They WILL move them around. The rocks will help them do their own filing.

My suggestion would be, don’t try to do your own toenails yourself. There are professionals who do them and it’s not that expensive. The chooks though, I’m not sure. I don’t trim my girls nails. Only Sir Jaffar’s spurs.
