How To Clip Trim The Feather Wings Of Your Chicken To Prevent Flight

Thank you for writing this. I am about to clip the wings on our hens soon because one flew over a 6ft fence into our neighbor's yard while their dog was out. The dog got the hen, but she is unharmed... this time at least. Our hens also keep flying over our garden fence which is 3ft tall. Hopefully the clipping helps keep them out of the garden as well.

This really helped me! Thanks for sharing this! It is shorter than I thought it would be but who cares? It gives almost all the info you need! Thank you.

i don’t need to clip any wings but it’s good to know how.

I will point out to some peeps though, wing clipping, no matter how close, has effected my birds flying, they are ACROBATS! So your's could be too.

We were just talking about this, if we could trim our girls wings, since she likes to fly. Good article, easy to follow.

Now, our bird friends can't run away from back yard.
Outside is dangerous.

Always wondered how to do this. This is very concise and informative.

Thanks!!
