The Proper Way to Clip or Trim A Chicken's Wings

[@HyperJoe]

Finally, someone that knows how and Clips their Chickens Properly, something else You should mention, and it does happen, if You do accidently cut above the Blood Line, immediately Pull that Feather because it will Bleed Profusely, when You pull that feather it stops the Bleeding. Very good Video Young Lady, thanks for sharing.. :D

[@Miluielle]

Came back to say thanks. I had never had to do this before as my flock was pretty content inside their electric netting (safe from foxes) but I've had a few new additions from the neighbours (who moved out) and a couple of hens have repeatedly flown over and out the fencing. It was super easy to clip the culprits and has done the job of keeping them in!

[@texacalian9289]

You are the epitome of a good Southerner. Your skills and abilities are something we should all strive for. I'm glad I found your channel.

[@AngelaKaringLMTHerbalist]

I just trimmed my 6 chickens, thank you for the clear explanation and video of actually doing it, perfect, Yah bless you!

[@BrianMason3636]

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.......short and to the point, very detailed! I’m new to raising chickens so I’ll take any good advise that I can get.

[@PrimePhilosophy]

Great video! Thanks for explaining about the warming feathers, blood line and reasons for doing one side.

[@stevenmcgarva574]

I'm glad you told us why not to clip both sides, I've made that mistake once already. Thanks.

[@dixsigns1717]

Thank you for explaining the warming feathers, I see so many KZbinrs that just chop off all the feathers even the warming feathers.

[@SarahFHJones]

Thank you! I will be attempting this today when mine arrive from the breeder. I have a very neutral English accent and I am very jealous of your beautiful accent :)

[@matcat1962]

Thank you. Everything and more I needed to know in less than 3 minutes. Two thumbs up.

+RonRay thanks :)

[@baral6747]

@@SurvivalHT hi Thanks for your video Do you slaughter your chickens?

[@buffster948]

The perfect video. So concise! We're not allowed to let our chickens out at the moment because of an Avian Flu outbreak here in the UK, but I'm so keen to let the rescue chickens out into our run as soon as possible without them getting targeted by the local foxes.

[@nancycowan3621]

I just found your channel by searching how to clip chicken wings. I must say I was astounded by how beautiful you are! I'm a happily married woman but I believe in building other women up because we tend to be so self critical, or at least I do. Thanks for the great informative video. I'm a fairly new chicken owner and I have a problem with a neighbor's dog trying to kill my chickens. She's already mangled 3 of them but they are apparently tough birds because I'm treating their wounds and keeping them bandaged and they seem to be ok. But that dog is going to die!!! I've warned the neighbor twice now about her dog. My chickens were free ranging in my yard and not bothering anyone. Her dog decided it wanted to have my chickens for dinner when it got loose. The first time I warned her I would shoot her dog if it came in my yard again. The second time I wasn't home when it got loose and it mangled my two hens. They both have quarter sized wounds on them. So, I spent over $500 on a Premier One electric netting fence to keep them safe. The dog got loose AGAIN Saturday and headed straight for my chickens. Luckily the fence deterred her but she was trying her best to figure out how to get to my chickens. This time my husband came out of the house with his rifle. The neighbor said, "you better not kill my dog" while her dog is doing it's best to get to my chickens. I'm very attached to my chickens. They aren't just chickens to me. They have names and I spoil them rotten. They are my pets. While the dog was trying to figure out how to get to my chickens, they were flying up in the air because they were scared. If they had accidentally flown over the fence, the dog would have gotten them. So, I need to clip their wings. Will they still be able to fly up onto their perch in the coop? It's only about 2 ft from the bottom.

[@1885dr]

the best advice i’ve seen on clipping flight wings , thanks

Thank you so much for this video.. We just did it!!!! As today we found out chickens on our neighbors fence

[@nikkimaynard9045]

Thank you so much, this was helpful, concise and informative!

I always wanted to know how to do that. Thanks, well done young lady!

[@junehunk1]

Good to see you again,hope things are going ok.

[@Miss_Judy]

Really great info - the other one I watched clipped both sides and I thought - hmmm - cant they still fly - but only doing one side makes so much more sense!

[@Littlebitfunny7]

Thank you! First timer and has one escaping! Easy instructions!

To the point and informative, love this! Thank you😊

[@aprilperez3719]

Thanks beautiful! Love your eyes! I just spent an hour chasing after my chick in everyone's yards lol time to snip that wing!

Watch these videos, just because of those beautiful blue eyes,, (helps a lot that you know what you're talking about)

[@winginitwithirishcolleen6692]

Thank you, I just did this today for the 1st time, your video taught me how. 💚 I am going to give your credit in my post. 💚

Thanks. Glad it helped

[@jimbox114]

Very helpful video. We have 4 chickens behind a 8 foot fence and they keep jumping over it. There are some very aggressive foxes that hang out around here that will attack even during the day. Trimmed all 4 of them and they didn't seem to care or fuss any.

[@michaelclaugherty751]

Oh great. Now you got a Chicken that only makes left turns when he tries to fly "LOL"

[@adaywithaleks6556]

I'd try to do both equally so they maybe cant go over a fence easily but be able to fky up to and from roost to roost without falling to the ground getting hurt.

[@JessicaO490Z]

Your chicken is so chill. I attempted to clip everybody's wings a few weeks ago. But they still get over my 5-ft fence so I think I didn't clip them short enough (and I did just do one side). Mine are a bit more feisty even at night though so I think I'm going to tag team them this weekend with some family.

[@1rdgrnnr]

glad too see you back in action !!!!

[@jackgarand7284]

Are your eyes really that blue? Oh my god. Amazing.

[@bonitaburleson7445]

If you clip one side then will they be able to fly up onto their roosting spots in the coop? I only have four right now but they have started escaping their outside pen. They roost up on a bar or thrift nesting boxes at night which they fly up to.

[@KaguraSan180]

This is my same question! I want them to be able to get to their roost but not jump over the fence and wander around my neighborhood 😫

[@summerbaby9379]

Awesome video and thank you for sharing this information!

[@frankc6430]

reminds me as a kid in TX ,we used to clip the cicadas wings and release them on the streets, they sound like little motorcycles doing wheelies going down the street!... lol

[@NotAnotherRachel]

Thank you !! I have that keeps escaping so hopefully this helps !!

[@EMA-dq2so]

How do they fly up to the roost afterwards?

[@Alan-garci]

My rooster can fly on a 10 foot roof i want to clip his wings but I want him to still be able to fly on a 4 foot roost at night do you think he,ll be able to roost at night?

[@nikkiiketo2154]

Great video. I didnt realize you only clip one side. Ps - your gorgeous!!

[@adventuresofPSF]

Can they still get up on their roosting bars?

[@SMaamri78]

I clipped one side just as you did but a couple could still fly out of the run. I guess I need to just cover the run which I hoped to avoid. My own dog killed one yesterday and I want to avoid that again.

[@adamdavid7207]

So I've got a poultry net and mine are getting out. How are you keeping yours in without clipping their wings?

[@dman3438]

You're an ideal woman and busy bee. Keep up the good work.

[@juliemcgugan1244]

May I ask, around what age do they begin to fly? What age should begin to clip their flight feathers? I have no experience with keeping chickens, but would love to in the future and I want to prepare to be able to care for them properly.

[@s.lynnmckay3122]

Chickens will fly as soon as they grow flight feathers as adolescents, but how high they fly is another matter.

[@lindabirmingham603]

At what age can you cut them? I would like to free range my 2 month old chicks, but they are flying very well.

[@sandratedder3381]

great video. hope you are doing well. God bless

Will they still be able to get on their roost?

[@lynnettecox7937]

[@rhondajennings517]

OFF SUBJECT, but how to get rid of flues around the coop, please? They’ve been terrible this summer. (In Louisiana, too)

[@rhondajennings517]

Flies, not flues..

[@SurvivalHT]

Never really had a problem with them but I know that mint oil will run off any bug. Also you can hang a ziplock bag filled with water and it will keep flies away. Don’t know why it works but it does

[@rhondajennings517]

I tried the bag of water already. I have mint oil I’ll try. Thanks!

I just cut the whole wings off, pluck feathers and deep fry them and chicken can't fly anymore either, them I still get the eggs, plus can eat the chicken later cause they can't get away! 😂😇JK JK. My chickens are awesome and appreciate your informative video. Thank you!

[@daisygurl3601]

Thank you!

[@georgeshotrodbarn2113]

your my little sweetheart I love watching your videos thanks

[@finlandfarm1674]

Do you ever worry that clipping the wings makes it more difficult for them to escape a predator? Obviously not against a hawk, but we have a dog that sometimes wanders over. The chickens are usually in a pen, but sometimes we let them out to free range for a short while and it would only take a quick second with our backs turned for a dog or fox to chase one down.

[@SurvivalHT]

+Finland Farm there's no reason to clip free rang wings but for pin raised its safer to keep them clipped. The odds of one getting attacked for the short time you let them out with you watching are far less then the odds of them getting killed because they flew out of the pin and wandered the yard all day with no one around

[@finlandfarm1674]

Good point. I guess we just can't eliminate all risks, can we. Thanks for the vid.

[@MrPolecat]

In my limited experience with free-range chickens as a kid, the predators are already way smarter than the chickens, and you are done if they get to them, regardless of clipping. The only way we were ever able to keep the predators out was to sit up at night with a spotlight and shoot them, and even that was only marginally effective. And that's why we no longer keep free range chickens, lol.

[@brokenwolf67]

simple remedy . . . shoot the dog , people should keep their dog's on their own property not roaming around killing people's livestock

[@s.lynnmckay3122]

I'm going to clip our chickens wings because they're bantams that can fly over our 6' privacy fence. I don't want a wandering dog, the neighbor's dog, or another person to grab them while out.

[@rissalionelhosteen7530]

Can I do this to my guinea chickens as well? They're the ones that love to fly but I wanna keep them in the fence for winter to protect them from hungry coyotes. It's July but planning things early :) Helpful video BTW. thanks.

[@NutzBdragon]

Do you clip roosters wings as well?

[@jimmyyounger618]

Yes. One of our roosters is the ring leader, flying out of the pen and crowing to call the flock to follow.

[@c.hudson4768]

Smart and beautiful.

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

Do you know the chicken whisperer trick of putting their head under their wing and setting them down gently to put them in a sleep state during the day?

[@supertna9154]

Warming feathers can only be cut if you are living in very hot climates so chickens don't overheat during the day.

I clipped 4 Sapphire Gems Flight Feathers. They could still fly over the fence. The other hens could not. I have had chickens for years and never saw this before.
