break the beak of the chicken?

chicks need to be beaked after they move to the brooding house.

a good beak, cut off a piece, looks really cruel. However, in order for the chickens to grow into qualified laying hens, this beak cutting work must be done.

beak cutting is to prevent pecking. Chickens have a habit of pecking everywhere with their beaks, and their beaks are so sharp that they will inevitably fight when they are raised collectively. At this time, their beaks become the best weapon. The chicken's mouth is especially tough when it starts to fight. The light ones are pecked and broken. The heavy ones may die. As a result, the loss of the chicken breeder is not small. If the tip of the beak is cut off, they will not be able to peck.

beak cutting is that it can avoid waste of feed. The chicken's beak is a hook-shaped like an olecranon. When eating feed, the hook will get a lot of feed outside the feed basin. Cut the beak short for a while and turn the rest straight, which can greatly avoid the waste of feed.

to cut off the beak of the chicken, the time should be about 8 days old. It is not appropriate to be early or late.

chicken first came out of the shell, its physique was already very weak, and it had to go through the major events of "moving", "drinking at the beginning" and "eating". It took a process to adapt. If you add such strong stimulation as "beak breaking", you might be scared to death. Therefore, it is too early to "beak breaking" at this time.

, but the beak can't be broken too late. When the chickens reach the age of 15 days, they grow very fast, one appearance every day, and their bodies are getting stronger and stronger day by day. It is not a big problem to bear the stimulation of "beak breaking", but at this time, because their beaks have become relatively hard, they are not only difficult to cut, but also shed a lot of blood after cutting. It is not easy to stop bleeding and the damage to the chickens is relatively large.

early or late. When is the best time to break the beak? The answer given by experts is that when the chicken is 8 days old. At this time, the chicken has basically adapted to the new home, because it eats normally and its physique has also been strengthened. The beak is just not soft or hard, and it is most suitable for "beak cutting surgery".

Although it is the best time to cut the beak of a chicken at the age of about 8 days, it is still a relatively large stimulus to the chicken, so the technique must be mastered when cutting the beak.

say "light" first, and when catching chickens, the technique should be light, because at this time the bones of chickens are very immature, and if the hands are too heavy, they will easily break their bones.

, we can say "accurate" again, which means the discretion of breaking the beak. Although it is said that part of the beak is cut off, how much is cut is very exquisite. Broken beak is too little broken, can be regarded as white broken, then the beak will grow. If it is more decisive, there will be no mouth, eating will be inconvenient, and its growth and development will be affected. To what extent is the most appropriate break? It is the place where the upper beak is 1/2 and the lower beak is 1/3. This 1/2 and 1/3 don't sound easy to judge, and there is a simpler way-to look at the growth point.

there is a small white dot on the chicken's beak, which is equivalent to the white part on our nails, which is the so-called growth point. when the beak is broken, it is necessary to break to this position.

beak-breaking machine, which are equivalent to circles that fix the chicken's beak. Although the chickens come out of their shells one day, by the time they are 8 days old, there are already big and small points. The size is not the same, and the size is not the same, so when the beak is broken, you have to put their beaks into these three lower spaces to try and see which is the most suitable. There is another suitable standard, and the growth point must be exposed. Only when the round hole is suitable can the beak be broken accurately.

said "accurate" and said "fast". Broken beak fast not fast, blade is very important. To ensure that the blade is sharp, the heating temperature should reach 600~800 degrees. This temperature is mainly distinguished by the color of the blade. The blade should be heated before the beak is broken, and it is best to use it when it is cherry red, that is, light red.

fixed the chicken, fixed the position and solved it with one knife. However, don't take the chicken away immediately after the beak is broken, and let it endure for 2 or 3 seconds to stop bleeding for the chicken with the help of the high temperature of the blade.

beak breaking looks simple, it must be done in a few seconds to minimize the stimulation of chickens, and people with professional skills must do it.

chickens is broken, they do not need to be eaten well, but the feed in the trough should be added more. In addition to supplementing their physical strength, they can also help the wound heal faster. If the material is added less, the chicken will quickly peck at the hard bottom of the trough, and the originally scabbed beak will be easily broken. Thick the material and try not to peck them into hard objects, which can promote the wound to heal faster.

In order to promote wound healing, some vitamin K for hemostasis is usually added to the drinking water of chickens.
