I have a ten week old danish brown. She is taking flight already! She gets 4 feet off the ground! How old should she be before clipping. her wing?. I have 2 other hens (red sexling and barred rock) There wings were clipped when I got them at 4 months. I've never had to clip,. since then. Also, do I clip both sides?
 
If you want to, you can clip the feathers on her wing(s) now. It won't hurt her. However, you will need to do it again in 1-3 months, after she molts into her true adult plumage. Most people just clip one side, but if she is escaping too much, you can clip both.
