Clip only one wing. That way they are off balance when they try to fly. If you clip both you'll be shocked at how fast they start up again. I learned the hard way!

I've clipped wings and they can still fly the fence.

My Games? OMG! I'd have to cut off the whole wing to get them to stay low enough. One flew up on the roof right after I clipped it.

Goofy birds!

Oh my youngster girls are on the top roust tonight! I'm so proud

Those dingy little roos are all in a nest box cuddled up. The sissies!

That is pretty funny, as they were quiet birds for me! My RIR lead hen is pretty vocal with me, as is the Brahma and the EE purrs...One of the two Wellies had just started to make a happy chirp when I let them out in the morning, but they were never loud unless I was trying to catch them! Laurie said they "talked to her" the whole way down, but they were silent in my car... Maybe the change of scenery has inspired them??

They are used to being out most days, maybe that's it?? Anyway, glad you are getting eggs already! They must like it there!

Clio, my (former) Wellies were almost 8 months before they started laying. On another topic, you are here in Sonoma County, right? Are you good at sexing birds?

Thanks about when the Wellies started laying. Our Wellie hasn't said much at all.

No, I don't know how to sex birds at all

I'd have to have a copy of the Super Dome.

wolftracks, yes they are LF. At the moment I only plan on selling male/female pairs, but it all depends on what I hatch... I could end up with a dozen pullets! ...yeah right, LOL.

Mahonri, it's nice to see you here, did you finally decide California has better weather than AZ?

GREAT pictures Cheryl, that sale barn looks like a mess!
