De-beaking is usually done at 2 to 2 1/2 weeks old Large breeders have a machine to do this and it also cauterizes the wound. There is some questions now about the usefulness of this and how cruel it is. On home farms it can be done with a set of dog nail clippers but only a very small tip of the beak is cut and usually only to birds who damage other hens by continually pecking other birds causing damage.
What else can I help you with?
You have recently bought two chickens POL for your backyard and are horrified that their beaks are trimmed Will this affect their ability to forrage for fruit fly larvae?
No this will not deter them from eating anything. Beak trimming is done with many chickens and unless specified not to, it is done when orders are placed for birds from hatcheries. As long as they have half the normal length of beak they should do fine. The reason it is done is it helps prevent feather pecking and cannibalism in small enclosures.
