Thanks nutcase. I have read all of this thread and the online articles on how to clip. But there's nothing on when to clip. How long does it take for guinea wing feathers to "grow out"?10 weeks - the age of my birds? 12 weeks? Or 16 (slaughter age)? Can I assume that there will be blood in the wing feather while the feathers are still growing? Can I see blood in a dark feathered bird's feather before I cut the feather? I'm new at this and don't want to damage the birds through ignorance, but I have to clip before I release them into the corral. They are getting a bit feisty and bored with being confined!!
