When you clip chicken wings, many say you should only clip one otherwise, they can still fly. Clip as above and never clip where there are blood vessels. You can hold the wing toward a light source to see where the blood vessels are.

∙ 13y agoYou need only to clip one wing for flight control. The last 10 feathers on a hens wings are the primary flight feathers and can be clipped roughly 2/3 down and equal to the shorter feathers on that same wing. A pair of sharp scissors and an extra pair of hands (helper) is all you need. The feathers will not bleed and this causes NO pain to the bird. They will however grow back after the next molt.

People. And lots more, like dogs, fox, coyote, wolf, bear ect. Just make sure you fence your chickens in. The fence should be at least 4 feet tall.
