Hi there,
My family is planning to get a handful of dual-purpose, day-old pullets next spring and I do not want debeaked chicks. Is this common practice for "yard bird" chicks or easy to avoid?
On a related note, if anyone has suggestions for good breeders or feed stores to order chicks from in the King/Pierce County, WA area, I'm all ears!
Thanks for your help!
