Just some of my thoughts.I trim wings on the Leghorns and they can still fly over the 4' fence and up to the 5' perch.
The height is convenient because of the way the house is built. I wish it was lower so I would not brain myself on it! They all get up great, the White Rocks like to land in a certain place that gives them a longer glide path. The big NN meat mix bird does fine, too. The floor is dirt & covered with straw and wood chips, no hurt feet yet.Just some of my thoughts.
If you trim just one feather, and sufficiently enough, the chicken will not be able to maintain flight balance, and not fly successfully.
5 foot perch is somewhat high. OK for small banties that fly like pigeons,,,,,,,, but not ideal for full size chickens,
REASON; a landing from such heights first thing in the morning can (I did not say will) cause injuries, including such that can lead to bumble-foot due to cuts/breaks/injuries on bottom of foot.
I envy you not having any rocks or gravel laying around! I'm always finding some pieces of gravel to get rid of!The floor is dirt & covered with straw and wood chips, no hurt feet yet.
The clouds looked pretty bright here, so I took a picture. Naturally, the picture isn't nearly as colorful as it was in real life. Lots of lightning to the east, hopefully it doesn't start any fires.The wind has picked up and the cloud's just south of me look strange. I heard thunder earlier, but no rain here yet.
Read the complete article,,, Will see how correct their predictions are. Of course there is nothing that can be done to control nature,,, but the early warnings are good for preparation to stay safe.They are saying that La Nina will set in again and if it does, it look's like we will have a dry winter this year.

Trim those little cute wings now! They are learning!Lots of rocks here, and so far thier feet are doing fine. Four week old Leghorns have absolutely no problem flying out of a brooder. I caught another one in mid flight again today.
