From 3 days to 7 -10 days for the first debeaking while the second debeaking may be needed between 12 and 22 weeks of age

7 – 10 days old is the most common age for debeaking as the beak is still soft and easy trim7 – 10 days old is the most common age for debeaking as the beak is still soft and easy trim

Debeaking is primarily done to prevent pecking and cannibalism, which can be a significant problem in poultry flocks.
Common Debeaking Times:
* Early Age (7-14 days):
* Advantages: Chicks are easier to handle, and stress is generally lower.
* Considerations may require a second debeaking later.
* Later Age (6-10 weeks)
Second Debeaking (12-17 weeks):
* This is often done to refine the beak shape and ensure long-term control of pecking.
It is important that this is done before the pullets begin laying eggs.
Important Notes:
* Proper technique is crucial to minimize pain and injury.
* Hygiene and sanitation are essential to prevent infections.

Pullets should be debeaked (beak trimmed) at 7–10 days old for optimal results. Some farms may also perform a second trimming at 6–8 weeks of age to ensure uniformity and prevent excessive beak regrowth.

between Day – old and 7 to 10 days of age

As early as possible to prevent blood loss and stress, one week after hatching is recommended as per Farm Management and practices.

7-10 days to debeak pullets is more ideally for fast heeling to prevent blood lose , streas and feed wastage👍

Pullets are commonly debeaked or beak-trimmed between 7-10 days of age, or sometimes at 4-6 weeks, or no later than 12 weeks to minimize stress and blood loss, and to reduce feather-picking and cannibalism.
