I have not. I've read similar stories and the beak will eventually grow out. How did you get a retired hen?Has anyone had experience with egg laying retired hens from proceducing factories? I took one in and her beak is clipped and she walks around looking at things like everything is new. She is a year and a half.
Some of my Ideal 236 layers developed lash eggs after a year. They laid well until that point.
Best wishes with your new gal.
