johnandkymberley Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Violet is a new black rock, she is only about 24 weeks old. although she loves roosting on the mezzine level and the outdoor roosting bars, i found her yesterday on our 6ft fence facing out neighbours garden, fast asleep. it was a good job i saw her actually but hopped down as soon as she saw us into our garden, personally i think she was being nosey. Anyway checked her wings and they are clipped good, just cut them a bit more in line but does anyone know if this is down to her age or breed? my white stars willow and lily were a bit flighty but never ended up on the big fence!? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Er - are both her wings clipped? That could be the problem - you need to have just one clipped, so they are unable to balance in flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnandkymberley Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi, no just one wing, i checked when i got her just in case the farm did but they havent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migsy Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 How much did you take off? You need to take about 4 inches I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 She's just nosy. My pekin and Coral Nick have both jumped 6 foot onto top of run but not repeated it, haven't clipped them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
