what age can i clip flight feathers?

Recommended Posts

my chicks are now 11 weeks old, not exactly chicks anymore so this may be in the wrong bit, sorry if it is.

most of the chicks can jump a few feet up and perch on the roof of their coop, this is fine as they cannot get out of the garden from there. however my two chaucer bantams are unbelievable! i have six foot fencing all the way around my garden and they can hop up and roost on it like its only a few inches off the ground! (they are only about the size of a blackbird themselves!) fortunatley i am always in the garden when they are free ranging and so far they have always jumped down on the right side of the fence. i really need to clip their wings but i'm not sure if they are too young for this yet?

any advice would be great
