Wonderful article ! It’s a great way for people to cheat on their math.
One thing I would add is that disabled chickens don’t count, since if you took the time, care, and effort to parent the hen/rooster, it is a part of the family!
very good article. shows ways to not have these things happen. one thing that could be good to have is egg-laying breeds being egg-bound. there are some good ways to fix that, and many of them are right here on BYC.
overall, a very good article
good instructions. wish you had digitally drawn a mark where the blood line is, because it's very hard to see if you are not looking closely. guineas have fast-growing claws. I once had one, before I found BYC. wish I had seen this article before. like the photos and lists of what you use. where do you get the clippers and roller? amazon? a local store? I'm just curious.
well, there's my 5 cents. bye!
Blood lines move up or down depending on how long the claw gets. Try trimming outside in the sunlight, on white claws you can usually see the vein fairly easily.
