Best Answer

Clipping a chicken's wings has nothing to do with the hen's egg laying ability. The only thing wing clipping does is to keep a light weight hen inside the fence or out of the trees where they love to roost. Light weight chickens cannot fly, in the traditional sense of flying, but they can, and will, jump to the top of the gates/fences and the lower limbs of trees.
