That'd be too easy! I only have one that is a fence hopper and she doesn't bother anyone so I just leave her

Yes, that will be the next step. Only have a few that jumped. I will only clip one side, but will see if they will stay in on their own. Will give them a day or two to learn to stay in. With all the predators around here, I would hate to clip their wings and leave them without a way to 'fly' away if they need to!
 
Book, I would agree with you on snipping wing feathers back. I did that with my silkie roo because he kept trying to escape his indoor pen to find his broody gf toget him "some" funky chickie love. No more flying over the baby fence for him lol I am getting ready to trim my baby Maran chicks because they are so flighty at just under 3 wks. The other 2 chicksin with them aren't half as flighty! My Barred Rock chick sure is tiny compared to the Maran and Black Sex Link but is only days younger than the BSL. Getting her stripes and still has the spot on her head lol.

Good point! I was just thinking that there might be less predators in the yard than out of it?

I was at the feed store and this woman saw me getting ducklings and had to stop me to tell me her sad story about how her ducks got out of the yard and some how 6 of them got hit by a semi and all died..... :( Getting ducklings and chicks seems to be a bit like being pregnant, everyone seems to want to tell you their nightmare birth story!

I think for us we will be clipping some feathers on one of our flocks wings soon. Of course if predators give us an education that says not to again we will certainly listen. Just not sure what is of more danger here yet you know?
 
From RoboDuck: male/female?

@Flowerbh: you gave me a fabulous idea for my indoor silkie enclosure!! I will start working on it immediately :D
That way my roo can cock-doodle-doo whenever he wants in the mornings without interrupting the whole house.
Imagining the design now... So happy so so happy!
:weee

We think this is a female as I was told that the girls generally have the darker bills. Any professional CPG gender guessers here?

Aren't all CPGs auto-sexing geese? If so, the females would be darker overall, and this one would probably be female.
