Do not cut the other one she will adjust and be back in the same boat as before.


Get a book or go online to find a photo of the proper length, is it possible it could use a l ittle more clipping? I cannot think of any thing else

Did you use the wing clipping guide here:

Some determined chickens can still flap their wings and run up and over a fence even with a wing clipped and you may just have to keep them in a pen.

I have a pen full of hens called "the rascals" that can escape from anywhere and that always fly into the neighbor's back pasture... where the dog is. Those birds got flight netting over an extra large pen and they dont get to free range for their own safety.
