When should we clip the wings?

[girlychick]

Hello,
I know I've asked this question before but I only received one reply, and I didn't wanna just go by that.
So my question is when should we clip our chickens wings? I think there in between 6-8 weeks, and next week we are gonna put them out side in the coop because they are really stinking up the garage! So does anyone know when we need to clip there wings? I will post some pictures of them in a minute (they've grown soooooo much!)

Why do you feel the need to clip their wings? You don't necessarily "need" to but there are reasons that some people do it.

Because we don't live on a farm, we have a postage stamp backyard. If the flew or glided a way they'd end up in out neighbors back yard and we only have four

The answer you got in your first thread with this same question was perfectly legitimate. There was no reason for everyone else to chime in. Chicken raising doesn't always require a committee.
