charly1979 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Thought this may amuse This morning I returned Connie back to her run after her 2nd escape of the day, she is a Gold Line and defineatly out of my 5 girls the one who seems to like company etc, anyway I was stood by the run seconds later she flaps her clipped wings and is perched on my back. (Yesterday she tried to fly on to me hence the clipping of the 1 wing). Id like to think that as she sat there quite nicely until I moved and un balanced her that she just wanted to be close to me, or perhaps she thinks im a Pirate and that she is a Parrot, unforteantly for her it resulted in the other wing being clipped. As there are so many different opinons on how many wings should be clipped I decided that clearly the clippping of one had no affect so would try for both !! The husband did come out to chuckle at the sight but as usual no camera to catch this moment of affection (or possible hate) Charly x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakjon-98 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 She sounds very friendly It's best to clip one wing as it's the imbalance thats ment to help stop them. I do think that some chickens are just good fliers though and it doesn't always seem to make much difference. My appenzeller could easily fly over my 6 foot fence with wing clipped but she has stayed so far as she knows where the treats are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LottyJ1 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Its defo being friendly and wanting to be close to you - my Plymouth Rock jumps on my shoulder all the time and sits there. I do protect my eyes though just in case but she makes funny noises like she does when she has treats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
