Chicken won't leave alone the dog that's trying to eat her

I do not like this because not accurate. My position is based on more than opinion.

I have personally witnessed chickens, turkeys and guineas fly quite well when both wings are clipped. Obviously they don't fly as well as they would if the wings weren't clipped.

With just one wing clipped they spin out of control pretty quickly.

Whether or not any of their wings are clipped, they can all jump very well.

I have personally witness a consistent pattern of improper wing clipping, whether is be unilateral or bilateral. We did a little test last year that demonstrated very clearly that clipping both wings was more effective than doing only one.

My games can jump a good as any domestic, yet I can keep them from going up even 3 feet.

See thread below where we actually tested it where wings were improperly and properly clipped.
