    Official BYC Poll: Do You Clip Your Chickens' Wings?

    As I said mostly NO! Only FEED at Night ! Mine free range from dawn till dusk. They have plenty of room in their coop. I only clip IF there is a problem. I will clip both wings and usually by the time they grow out I no longer have a problem. If necessary I will clip a second time. Very rarely...

    Official BYC Poll: Do You Clip Your Chickens' Wings?

    Mostly no but sometimes I clip them if they start roosting in the trees rather than come in the coop for their evening meal and bedtime!

    What did this???

    Ammonia soaked rag in a soup can and then placed around areas you don't want critters. I was an Animal Control Officer and Shelter Manager in NJ for 13 years.

    what are the pros and cons of a mixed flock

    I have guineas, chickens and Muscovy ducks that have all been kept together at night for years. Two drakes. Never had a problem. Chickens and guineas have perches and the ducks have the floor. They free range all day.
