Honestly, I'm so sorry to go off topic (chatting is my weakness) but that big blue fun looking thingy in this picture looks like a blast!!!This is not the best photo but it’s all I could find since it’s already dark. The fencing we added goes up about 18” since they were going through the wiring

We can wait for a better pic, with the improvements you mentioned.The fencing we added goes up about 18” since they were going through the wiring
It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Have a helper hold the chicken and cover the chicken's head, then cut the primary feathers with a sharp pair of scissors or shears. Cut right below the primary coverts. This diagram doesn't show it, but right between the primaries and secondaries there is a tiny feather called the axial feather. Stop cutting at the axial feather. There are some nice YouTube tutorials if you are still not sure.I am relatively new and read a bit about it but I’m not to confident on how to do it.
My chickens are still safe with wings clipped. I have never seen mine fly away from danger (mainly eagles), only run, and some of those chickens have never had a clipped wing. Yours might be different though, so it is up to you whether you think their safety will be compromised with a clipped wing.What is your opinion on their safety with clipped
Wings?
You cut the long flight feathers on a bird's wing.I am relatively new and read a bit about it but I’m not to confident on how to do it.
