Consider preparing dry winter quarters for your chickens

Wing clipping

Chickens kept mainly in a roofed run and heavy breeds that struggle to hop over a low fence shouldn’t need their wings clipped. Free-range birds are better able to escape danger if they can fly.

However, some breeds are able fliers and you may need to stop them from exploring neighbouring gardens or roosting in trees. If it’s essential to clip your chickens’ wings, here are some guidelines:

• Clipping doesn’t hurt the chicken if it’s done properly.

• Large, sharp scissors will be required.

• Try to recruit a helper – a wriggling chicken and scissors aren’t a good combination. Alternatively, wrap the bird in a towel.
