Clip Wings at Optimal Time

What happens here

For the least stressful experience for both the chickens and the handler, it is recommended to clip wings after dark, once the chickens have settled onto their roosts. At night, chickens are typically calmer and less active. Use a flashlight to illuminate the wings while clipping. After clipping, ensure there is enough light for the chickens to safely get back onto their roosting poles if they are displaced.

Goal: To minimize stress, the best time to clip chicken wings is at night when they are roosting, using a flashlight for visibility.
