G'day from Aus, if you are worried about the danger on the other side of the fence, then yes I would clip a wing on each of your birds. So long as you don't intend to show. It will give you peace of mind.

 

[janpeachey]

No I'm not gonna show them don't think I'm experienced enough lol I'm just goin to enjoy my new babies and watch them grow beautifull x how would I go about getting them clipped do I see the vet ?? Xx

 

[Fancychooklady]

No need to go to the vet. I went on youtube and there is a few very informative how to, clips. All you need is a helper and a sharp pair of scissor s.

 

[janpeachey]

Thank you will have a look see if I be able to do it xx at what age would you recommend they are 6 weeks and a few days old and very flighty haha x

 

[Fancychooklady]

Mine are about 6 months old and just starting to fly up on the gate. The flight feathers won't be in for some time . So you can sit back enjoy them for a while longer before this will be an issue.

 

[janpeachey]

Thank you for your info like you said I'm goin to sit back and enjoy my cheeky Chics xx
