A great article for a beginner on how to clip a chicken's wings. This is the method I use and it works very well. This depends on the size of your chicken though. I have used this wing clipping method on small breeds and it doesn't really prevent flight. As long as you have a fence that is at least 6 feet, wing clipping will always be a perfect solution.

I really enjoyed reading this interesting, informative article! I have heard how heat lamps can be a cause of fire and I definitely wouldn't use it. As long as my coop is well insulated with my 10 chickens, things should turn out fine!:thumbsup

This is a great article on common mistakes poultry keepers make. I have had chickens die from being egg bound when I first became a chicken owner and I didn't really understand what all these diseases and emergencies actually were. I am glad you included this in the article!

This is a great article about buff orpingtons! It shows them as chicks developing into hens, their personality and a lot more! I personally like how big and ornamental these ones are and how sweet they look.
Interacting and spending time with your chickens is a very fun hobby! Even though when it comes to cleaning out the coop etc.. Great article!:thumbsup
