consists of removing 1/3 of the !
area.
When debeaking is correctly
done, the* only real discomfort is
due to extra handling, says Wor-
meli. The outter beak is the same
’ type of material as horn and hoof,
and careful removal does not pro-
duce pain. If laying hens are care-
fully handled during debeaking,
egg production will not be lower-
ed.
Debeaked birds tend to grow
to more uniform size, feather more
uniformly, be less nervous, and
have better eating habits. It is
reporter! that hatcheries charge 25
cents for debeaking 100 head,
and where birds are raised in
close quarters it would seem to be
a good preventive investment
for the commercial poultryman.
Due to present trends, it. is rea-
sonable to expect an increase in
the number of chicks and turkey
poults tha^ will be debeaked at
the hatchery, says Wormeli.
