well i clipped them then watched the chicken fly past me  does clipping really work that well ? lol

Did they fly really high? mine have been clipped and can fly up about a metre but not very far.  I think the puprose of clipping isn't to completely stop them its more to unbalance them - I read somewhere that its to "make them fly in circles" tho in reality it doesn't.

We had one who kept escaping after first clipping - we just clipped a little more and that worked,,

yeah they are on their second clipping now we will see if that helps

[Junie]

fingers crossed that they don't still fly past... At least not in a straight line!

Why are you clipping their wings in anycase?  It's not the best method to use but if you do you should only clip ONE wing.  The first 5 or so flight feathers at the end of their wing.

everyone is much more settled now they seem to love their home so no fly bys or tree dwelling
