Fowls are debeaked in order to reduce cannibalism. Debeaking, also known as beak trimming, is a process of removing part of the beak of poultry birds like chickens, turkeys, and ducks. It is done to prevent the birds from pecking at each other and causing injuries or death, which can occur due to aggressive behaviour or stress in overcrowded conditions. By reducing the size and sharpness of the beak, debeaking can help to reduce the severity of injuries that may result from pecking, thereby reducing cannibalism. It is not done to make them grow faster or to increase the intake of vitamin A.
