How long before wings grow back

[dandread]

i just clipped the wing of my 4 month old chickens. How long before they can fly again.

I had to clip because caught one fly over 4’ fence.

In another two or three months. Young chickens go through several juvenile molts during their first six months. After that, you won't need to clip again until they finish their first adult molt.

And many birds can easily jump a 4 foot fence, even with clipped wings.
