RE: Clipping Chicken Wings-How And Why You Should
We did both sides and our dumb chickens still flew. I'm starting to think I was too conservative in my clipping and I need to clip off more than I did. I'm so glad to have you guys as such a great resource!
I think some chickens are just more inclined to fly than others, especially if they are used to flying around and getting into trouble. I find these hens need their wings cut REALLY short. After a while, they get used to not flying, and in the future, you dont have to cut them as short anymore.
That's good to know. We're going to start the bantams young after reading this article and others' experiences.
Yep. Its best to start young, I think. Especially if you have lightweight birds that can fly better anyway,like game chickens or bantams. :D
