I need a clipped wing to grow back immediately. Is this possible?

If you do nothing they won't grow back 'till she molts. If you pull the cut off feathers they'll grow back in a few weeks. The idea that it will affect your "relationship" with the hen is just silly.

Thanks. It's always good to hear from someone with 50+ years experience with chickens. I see you have Golden Campines. They're not the most popular of birds, but I sure enjoy my little ones. They lay like gangbusters and are so delightfully pretty (even though they aren't show quality).

How can you pull out these flight feathers without hurting them too much? They’re really thick and stuck in there
