Note: Some sources recommended beak-trimming, also called
de-beaking for the
prevention of cannabilism. I do not support this treatment. |

Egg Eating in Hens
Note: A Henspa almost eliminates egg eating by
preventing the hens access to their eggs. |
Egg eating by hens is a habit which is extremely difficult to
break. It is important you plan and manage your facilities so that the hen never gets the
first taste of a broken egg.
