Covered run is likely the most effective approach. If clipping to be pursued further, then then do it bilaterally and very close. This the time of year when you have least risk of getting into blood feathers. Take a look at a whole store bought chicken wing to get a handle on where flesh and bone end. Feel live wing to reinforce that.
My games have exceptional flight and jumping capacity for domestic chickens. Properly / severely clipped, I can keep them from getting 2' above the ground.
