It's your chicken and you should know best since you see it everyday. I wasnt saying you need to. Just that when it comes time to, and that day may come, that it isn't as hard, scary, or risky as you obviously think it is. It happens everyday with minimal discomfort to the bird.I know what it entails. Read posts above. It's not necessary right now.

If you didn't think it could be necessary, why did you even start this thread?
