MERRY CHRISTMAS! Like others, I probably won't be around on here tonight or tomorrow so just wanted to wish everyone the best Christmas ever.

I guess you guys just take turns at the different one's? I wondered the day they transported my FIL to Tulsa if you would be one of the drivers... You weren't. LOL.

Jesus is the reason for the season! Have a wonderful holiday Monty!

Quick question....how do you trim beaks on OEGB? I've never had too..but now, have got a few that the top beak is getting too long.

thanks!

The part that needs to be trimmed will appear clear. What I use is fingernail clippers and trim each side then use an emory board to smooth and round it off. The reason for making multiple cuts is that if you try to cut straight across it can split the beak. The bottom will not need trimmed as the top beak keeps it worn down.

Put a brick in their pen and they will do it themselves. It looks like they are wiping something off but they are really sharpening the beak.

Thanks! I'll give it a go. Like the idea about the brick...definitely going to do that. Have you ever used "cuttle bone" like they use for parrots?

I have to go do some ruuning around right now but when we get back we have to trim Big Boy's beak and I will take some pics of how we do it.
