Guest Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 From George Orwell's diary, Aug 22nd 1938: When clipping fowls’ wings, clip only one wing, preferably the right (left wing keeps the ovaries warm http://orwelldiaries.wordpress.com/ Any truth in this?

Egluntyne Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Probably! Their left ovary is the one that works, The right one is present but atrophied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckbok Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Fiona, We clipped the right wing funny enough, but didn't know anything about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 So it is correct then - the left wing does keep the ovaries warm! Good old George Orwell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
