I just got back form my friends, and she was pinioning 50 chicks. They just came this morning, and she had no trouble with bleeding. They cannot fly over a four-foot fence after that. Maybe some of the light breeds would have to have a 6 ft fence. It is something not many people talk about, but it is efficient, works well, and is very safe.
I have mixed feelings about it, but if you are interested I can tell you more. It involves clipping the first bit of the wing off with fingernail clippers and it is permanant.
