Hi All
I'm new to chickens and want to get this right with as little cost as possible. I know chickens can jump 4' fences easy enough. I have planned to build a 6-7 foot fence, but would like to save the cost if possible. I have planned a 2400 SF run for 10 chickens.
I've heard if you only clip one wing that the chickens wont even attempt to fly because of being off balance.
1) Does clipping one wing have any other adverse affects?
2) Will this keep the chickens inside of a 4' fence enclosure?
Thanks, I've been reading BYC for a month or two now and have benefited from all of the knowledge/experience, please continue to post your experiences for all to learn.
