Once in a while my 3 month olds rub their beaks back and forth across the ground across various surfaces. Why do they do this? Are they keeping their beaks sharp?
 
My chickens will wipe their beaks after eating, especially if it is something that sticks to their beaks. If I stand still to watch them sometimes they will even clean their beaks on my boots or pant cuffs. Charming little dears.

Mine do it after eating and drinking - i think they are cleaning their beaks off..

Also when we cut our grass I always toss clippings into the run and its like cantnip for them I swear and what they do is run around swiping their beaks in it and kicking it.. So it might mean alot of things!!
