our chucks free range in the back garden and dig alot. what size sould their claws be and do they need to be cut, or do they self manage the size by scratting and digging.

they should wear down with all the scratching - the only ones that can be a problem are the spurs on the cockerels and some people either remove these or trim them to stop them digging into the girls when treading.
