  • There’s a few reasons. Firstly I’ve had determined fliers and climbers in the past which it makes little difference too. It isn’t just about flight, but the set up I have gives a few options for parkour style escapes.

    Secondly, the pullets are going through a molt right now, so it’s not really going to last long.

    Lastly, I free range them and prefer they have every chance to escape predators. Especially at the size they are now.

    I know clipping wings is very normal and does not hurt them, but for my specific set up and preferences it’s not really what I want to do. I’ve had good results with last year’s hens by using temporary spikes on the perimeter, so I’m considering an alternative to that rather than a complete change of approach.














  • I gave you a link to the resource library at the end of my message, if you prefer to use that then do.

    I’ve tried to explain to you the complexity of the topic and why a community like this is worth engaging with, if that’s not how you want to proceed then I wish you well.

    If you are ever unsure about things after reading those resources, then you know you can always come back here.


  • There was a time when Stack Overflow was an amazing tech resource for unique or interesting problems, as the library of responses was reusable and could be updated with new responses and information over time. Users built trust with other users and getting a solution by direct engagement with a trustworthy user was invaluable.

    Your response here is like the extremely unhelpful people who would respond with something like “read the documentation”

    There is a lot of basic plant information on websites, but some of it is conflicting and it can be hard to trust. Diagnosis of a plant’s problem is also difficult, especially if more than one issue is present at once. It is often preferable for someone to want to ask for people’s opinion and have some engagement with other like minded people.

    Communities like this are potentially the best part of the internet, so please don’t consider asking here as some kind of burden, the more people ask the more people help, the better the community becomes. Over time, people become more experienced and potentially shift from the ones asking for help to the ones helping. That isn’t unique to plants, it applies to any number of special interest communities.
