Beak trimming at 8 - 10 weeks:
- Insert a finger between the 2 mandibles
- Cut the beak perpendicularly at a right angle to its long axis, so that after cauterization
about half of the length of the beak between the tip and the nostrils is left
- Cauterize each mandible with care, particularly at the sides of the beak, so as to round off
the sides of the beak and avoid lateral re-growth
- Check regularly the temperature of the blade (650 º - 750 º C).
