The reason for going through the beak is because the worm eggs due to tearing will be washed away and travel back down the lacrimal duct and make their way to the esophagus and be passed in the feces of the bird and start the cycle all over again. That is a pretty hardcore way of flushing them from that area but they travel. That is probably a production chicken and in places like that they do things a bit more primal. They could use this to clean the worms out but they will be back. The only way to get rid of them is to get rid of the cockroaches.

But that's Asia for you.

I looked into it. It was a fighting cock. Explains the brutal treatment.
