Clipping wings?

[osint2026]

If it is warm where you are it should not be too much of a problem. If it was cold, it could be bad. The inner feathers are used for insulating their body.

Here is a reference for how to cut the wing for the next time you do it!

Thank you but for sure it will grow back both the secondary and primary

Ohhhh I don’t think it will cause any major problems

Okay thank you

They should all grow back when they molt.

It is warm so good thing it won't cause any problems it gets cold in about 3 months

I clip my chickens wings (otherwise they'll fly over my fence and roam around the neighborhood). I've tried clipping only one wing (just the primary flight feathers), but they were still able to fly, so I clipped the second wing, and that works great! Hope this helps!

Yay! I thought I messed up

Yes they will, no worries.

Another question when do they usually molt?

Another question when do they usually molt?

Chickens molt 2-3 times between hatch and about 6mo.
After that they will molt in the fall/winter each year.
They will not molt their first fall/winter.
I don't think it's a death sentence(as someone implied)that those wing feathers are missing this winter.
How cold does it get where you are?
Why are you clipping wings?
