Wings

[MelindaEzell]

Hello I have 4 Bantam babies. They’re almost 2 months old. They love being outside but they want to be out of their run. I’m ready for them to be so they can enjoy it, but they fly really well. I really don’t want to clip their wings because they’re so beautiful and they fly up to roost. Is there a way to clip their wings without chopping off all the feathers?

Cover the run?

Covering the run might be your best option.

Partial clipping isn't very effective and some determined birds manage to fly even with the feathers completely clipped.

It is. I would like them to go out in the open yard. They want to so badly, but I don’t want them to fly over the fence.

The run is covered, I just want them to enjoy being out in the open yard.

Sometimes we have to balance things out. Letting them range comes with certain dangers and we have to decide if it's worth the risk.
