Serama flight feathers

[TheCookyChickenLady]

Hello! I got another Serama hen almost 2 months ago and she has been molting her feathers. She is the smallest Serama I’ve had but her flight feathers seem big enough to clip, what do y’all think? I have to clip her wings to let her free range as she is an extremely good flyer and we have neighbors with lots of dogs. She is very calm and likes being held at least!Her second flight feathers has a tear as it grew in and looks almost like 1 feather with a small feather next to it but they are connected. Can I clip them now or should I wait some more? Thanks!

Tagging some knowledgeable folks. I don't have any experience with wing clipping. Many here will know. I wish you the best. You've got a beautiful girl! I love seramas, but only have one dark pullet.

Have never done wing clipping.
If they bleed, pluck them out and a new one will grow in.

All I know about wing feather clipping is second hand; never did it myself. Other folks are more expert for this.

Ask @centrarchid ? I think he's talked about it here.
