How old can a chick be before you clip their wings?

I would never clip just one side on the chicken wings I have seen that done and watched chickens fly in the air come down sideways and hurt themselves due to being off-balance. So my suggestion if you're going to have to clip their wings do both sides.

If you clip both sides, it defeats the purpose. They can still fly like that. The idea is to throw their balance off so that it’s more difficult to get in the air.
