Trimming Beaks

[chicken boy sam]

I have a chicken that I want to show with a long beak and I want to show it. How do you do that?

Did you do a search on "beak trimming"? I've never tried (never had to)...so hopefully you'll find something useful on the search.

I was told that you can't "show" a chicken that has been debeaked. I don't know how true that is. Maybe that's just here. But maybe you should look into it. But I also don't think she'd be a good canidate with a beak like that.

I was told to use a dogs nail file and put the bird in your lap and gently file the beak. You should also file the toenails to keep from getting scratched. The last thing you want is the judge getting scratched by your bird.lol

Debeaking is the process of cutting half of the beak off when you don't have to, to prevent picking. Her beak has also grown a bit since that last picture.
