DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES
Continue with the management proses. DAY TEN (10) OF THERE ARRIVAL If the chickens are layers you debeak them at Day 10 DEBEAKING Debeaking (also called beak trimming) is the act of cutting the lower and upper points of the beaks. The trimmed upper beak is usually shorter than the lower beak. Debeaking birds will help prevent feed wastage, cannibalism, feather pecking, and egg eating.
Mortalities due to cannibalism can reach up to 15% in un-debeaked laying hens when they are young day old to 10 days old Although chickens can be debeak from day old to 18 weeks Advantages of debeaking at younger age there is less feed wastage during the rearing period the beaks are still soft and there is less stress than in debeaking at a later age the birds are still relatively easy to handle and a high working speed is possible How to Debeak Cut the beaks cut the upper beak first.
The upper beak must be cut to two-thirds and the lower beak to one-third.
