Farm Vlog #13: Keep chickens laying all winter, clipping wings, a new invention! PIG CAUGHT!!

What happens here

The presenter retrieves a pair of scissors from his Craftsman toolbox. He then holds a chicken and demonstrates the technique for clipping its wings to prevent it from flying over fences. This involves carefully spreading the wing and cutting the primary flight feathers on one wing only, being mindful not to cut too close to the bone or any blood feathers.

Goal: This step demonstrates how to safely clip a chicken's primary flight feathers on one wing to prevent it from flying away.
