Title: Cleaning beaks!
Post by: birds in a basket on April 24, 2010, 19:51

Hi everyone - lovely day free-ranging - girls went back in the run this evening and Geraldine started cleaning everyone's beaks ??????????????  I assume this is normal chicken behaviour and not indicative of a problem (can't be bothered to read up as am too tired having been a chicken mum all day - yawn!!!) so am relying on experienced ones to tell me  :D :D :D :D

pretty normal - a bit like dogs licking faces - all they want is that last bit of food that might be lurking there  :lol:
