New to moscovys: can they be freeranged

[Miss Lydia]

I've had them with wings clipped climb right up and over a 5 ft wall. Clipping wings just slows them down. As big as the drake I had was, he could fly short distances. I'd pen them in a bigger enclosure for longer than a week. They won't know you and it takes time to trust. The chance of coming back to roost after a week is slim.

My females are great climbers, thankfully they are all older now and don't climb out of the fence any longer. so far I haven't had to clip wings this year Yet.
