Wing Clipping

To help prevent your chicken from flying over your fence you may want to clip their wing (only clip one wing), by doing so this puts your chicken off balance when in flight, therefore restricting them to only a few feet. To clip your chickens wing you should only cut off the primary feathers, (see below for a video on wing clipping) . As a rule of thumb, never cut off more than 6cm (2.3 inch).
