Blue-DiamondChick07 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 After clipping the wings, how high are they mean't to jump? I clipped my lot, but they can still leap up onto the roof of their coop and onto tables. Do I need to clip shorter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 They can jump a reasonable height. Have you clipped both wings? If so they can adapt and continue to fly. It is best to clip just 1 as it unbalances them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-DiamondChick07 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 I did clip just the one yeah.. I was quite surprised how high they can still jump, bit worried as one of my fences is not alot over 5ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Are they quite new? Mine had a bit of a wanderlust for a couple of months until they knew where home was and now I don't need to clip their wings at all as they are quite happy with their home patch.
