Debeaking is the answer when birds are lost from pecking. It also stops losses from “blowouts.” Tem porary eversion of the oviduct is normal with egg laying. It becomes a “blowout” if the oviduct remains hanging evternally. This is likely to happen in flocks where rents have been damaged by excessive vent pecking. John J.
