Just joined the site, currently enjoying the sunshine in North Wales and wondering how much to trim off my hens toenails. Specifically 2 bantams (would it be any other type of hen???) that have been brooding a clutch for a while and not done a lot of scratching. Noticed that one of them has really long toenails and wondered if there is a given length to cut them t, like you would a dog or cat. I have got some specific dog nail trimmers, guillotine style so just how much is all I need to know to make them more comfortable.
We have been growing organically on a quarter acre garden here in sunny St Asaph for the last 20 years, Starting to scale back a bit now as the children are gone and we don't need as much to eat. Over the years we have come up against many problems so would be more than willing to share what knowledge we have gained to help others who are starting out and new to the delights of tilling the soil. ;D
