I'm going to be building a coop about the size of a large shed with a yard fenced off with it but I would like to have my birds free range as well. I'll be on 2 acres of land but the fence is only about 4 feet tall. I know that turkeys like to roost high and heritage breeds can fly. So I was wanting to clip their wings to keep them on our property during the day and herd them into the coop at night. Would this be stressful to the birds? Cutting the flight feathers?
