How To Clip Trim The Feather Wings Of Your Chicken To Prevent Flight

before i joined this community.
Only, i wonder if this wing clipping is done the same way for any kind of chickens?
I used this on my chickens and it worked great!!!
That is, except for penny, my EE hen who flies out anyway:barnie :).
Great photos and explanations! Easy to follow instructions
We were just talking about this, if we could trim our girls wings, since she likes to fly. Good article, easy to follow.
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.

Short but sweet. Thank you for sharing. Clearly illustrated.
I only clip wings on birds that need it, in order to stop them from teaching others their naughty property hopping habits.

But I MUST do both wings as described in order for it to be effective. Great and simple visual tool, posted on my favorite website! Thank you.
good visuals
