maybe they got her from another farm and she was already debeaked?

I'll try to find out why her beak was clipped. These chickens are egg layers on a hobby farm, and have quite a spacious coop and a field to roam in. I thought debeaking was used to keep chickens from pecking each other in close quarters - a problem associated with over-crowded large-scale poultry farms?
