	Beak trimming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Although female chicks are not beak trimmed, it is common to beak trim male chicks so as to lessen the likelihood of aggressive pecking when the birds are older and thus reduce the level of damage during mating.
		Beak trimming of older birds causes acute pain at the time of the operation and, in the longer term, chickens suffer chronic pain resulting from neuromas.
		Beak trimming is a most undesirable mutilation which should be avoided, if at all possible, and used only if veterinary advice is that the procedure is essential to prevent worse welfare problems of injurious feather pecking and cannibalism.

		The beak's strength is dependent on the particular arrangement conferred by a layer of keratin on a firm bed of bone.

	The birth of a beak
		Today, beak shape is considered "a classical example of evolutionary diversification," writes Cheng-Ming Chuong, M.D., Ph.D., principal investigator on the Science paper and professor of pathology at the Keck School of Medicine, along with his colleagues.
		Beaks are actually a collection of "facial prominences," says Chuong, and these prominences grow at varying rates during chick development to "compose a unique beak." But while early chicken beak development has been studied to some degree, little is known about how these shapes are created in the later stages of development.
		To shed some light on that question, Chuong and colleagues compared beak development in chickens and ducks: Duck beaks are long and wide, Chuong notes, while chicken beaks are small and have a conical shape.
