I am very against beak trimming by cutting. It's very easy to cause splits in the beak, even with sharp cutters in the hands of someone experienced. I've had rescue hens here that have had their beaks badly cut and it's heartbreaking.
Toenails and beaks can be filed. It does take more time but it's a lot safer. I manage to misscut my own toenails!
Yeah I wouldn’t do it unless the vet advised me the need and I would just ask them to do it. In most cases shouldn’t need unless overgrown or injury occurred required trimming.
