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

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.

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!

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

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

[stevenmcgarva]

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

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

[PrimePhilosophy]

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

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 :)

[aprilperez]

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

[RonRay]

You always make such good, instructional videos.

[nikkimaynard]

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

[subdrvr]

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

[buffster]

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.

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

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.
