I want clip my chickens wings what a good way to do this? Do I clip one wing or both?

If it is to prevent flying, then both wings need to be clipped. Do this on a day that you can watch your chickens, and see how they react to short wings

No DONT clip BOTH wings!!

The chicken will get used to it and learn to fly like that..

Clip ONE wing. Doing so will keep them from flying and will make them flip in the air.

Yes it's to prevent flight

Then it is best to go trim both wings, one wing, and they can still fly, they may flop in the air, but as long as they are not TOO short, it will be fine. I always trim both wings when preventing flight.

[Poultrybreeder]

Lol I've done it both ways and had them still fly

Why do you need yo prevent flying?
I free range and I dont clip wings.
