Instructions on how to post a photo. First, you need to load your photos onto a website. The 2 most common sites people use are PhotoBucket and Aussie Chicks.
Once you've registered and uploaded your photos, for Aussie Chicks click on the photo you want to post so it's the only photo that appears on the page. Right click ON the photo and click on 'properties'. When the box pops up, copy the entire URL address that is there. An easy way is, right click ON the address and click select all. Then right click again and click copy. Close that properties box and come back here and open a new message. You can now either put that address in the 'optional image URL' box (right click in the box and click on paste) or you can click on the 'EBCode legend' at the bottom of the page to show you the code to put more than one picture per message.
If you're using Photo Bucket, find the picture you want to post. Under the photos are 3 boxes with addresses in them. Copy the address in the bottom box (IMG) and come back here and open a new (or existing) message and copy that address into the main window where you type your message. This 'code' is the same one you'd find in the EBCode legend. To add more than one photo, repeat the above steps. Only put one address per line.
Remember, if you are buying or selling stock, add your location and email address to your message so people know where you are!

Hi Paddy,
Good on you mate for deciding to rescue battery chooks 
Sometimes you can try and educate chooks to trim their own beaks, by grabbing their head and rubbing it to and fro on concrete. Again sometimes they pick up this habit by themselves or by seeing other chooks do it.
I use a pair of cat or dog nail trimmers to re-shape my chooks lower beaks, as it leaves a good clean cut and doesn't traumatise them.
Trim a little bit at a time and if it does bleed, just stick the beak into the sand. Chooks are more resilient that we give them credit and sometimes we can make to much fuss.
Alternatively you can use a steel smoothing file as that might be gentler, and is less prone to splitting the lower beak.
Kind regards
George
