With more and more families keeping chooks in their backyards, it’s good to know how to take care of your egg-laying little friends. Dr Harry’s been asked by one such family, who now have 35 chickens, but it’s ‘Chubba’ the Silkie who has a beak issue that he’s really there to see. With his top beak way longer than his bottom, Chubba can’t eat or groom himself properly. To help Chubba, Dr Harry must become more of a nail technician than a vet. Will his mani-pedi help get Chubba back to having a clucking good time?
