hi

had our chickens for a week now and they seem to be doing very well but noticed today that 2 of them jumped onto the coop and starting scraping their  beaks to and fro on the wood didnt do it for long then jumped off and started foraging again, am I right in assuming this is normal ie cleaning themselves? wasnt sure so no harm in asking  :)

we will post some pics at the weekend

No problems Pauline.  They are, as you thought, just wiping their beaks  :D

Considering they don't have hands, they do well don't they?  like mine with the string and the nut and bolt!
