Can you cut a 5 week old chick's wings?

[TheCrazyClucker]

Hi, our two new Salmon Faverolle chicks are flyers! They have flown up to the top of the grower coop, which is about 3-4 feet tall, and it is possible for them to get out of the enclosure that way. They are five weeks old, so is it okay for us to cut their wings? Thanks!

I don't see why not. Just to double check, Bing or Google age to clip chicken flight feathers

Well, we don't use bing or Google-- we use startpage.com. Seems like a pretty reliable place... I'll check there. Thanks for the help!
