Predators strike back…. How I combated the problem

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Carefully hold the chicken (the video features 'Edna' as a cooperative partner) and gently extend one of its wings. Identify the 'flight feathers'—these are the long, outermost feathers on the wing. The goal is to trim only these feathers without cutting into any live tissue or the wing bone. The speaker explicitly states that clipping these feathers is painless, similar to clipping human fingernails, as they contain no nerves or blood vessels.

Goal: Before clipping, gather the necessary tools and understand the part of the wing to be trimmed to ensure a painless process for the chicken.

Tools and materials

  • Chicken

What they say

Hide

birds have gone to bed so this is edna and edna will fly edna will fly out of the chicken coop right here she'll fly right over top of this poultry netting when you clip your bird's wings understand that you are reducing this animal's chances of survival if a predator gets after it so what you want to do is ensure these birds are up every night because they cannot run or fly away from a predator and they can't fly very far but they can fly yeah 30 40 feet to get away from a predator so we're gonna take edna here and we're gonna turn her around she's a very cooperative partner and these are edna's flight feathers right here okay so the flight feathers are right through there and all we have to do is take a pair of kitchen
