Lovely job ruth! Turkeys are so fun to raise and fly so well! We have found that the one wing clip is best for our poultry as it makes them unbalanced and less likely to fly out. Ive had many chickens figure out how to get out after having both wings done!!! Thanks for giving such a detailed demonstration!
Thanks for posting this! My turkeys and guineas are going to head out to the pasture in a couple weeks and I was really nervous about clipping their wings. Watching this calm and informative video made me feel more calm and informed about the process!
They can get up to the low roosts and tree branches still and happily roost there but can’t get over the fences anymore, so I’m calling it mission accomplished!
Math nerds have a very special sense of humor. And also when you’re a math teacher everyone thinks you need math joke T-shirts at every birthday for the rest of your life 😂
I find with my drakes, that they are super sweet as babies, but once puberty hits, it becomes a lot easier to harvest, once they become jerks and get aggressive with the girls.
I disagree. Secondary feathers should be left, they help with stability should birds be able to glide a bit. The goal is to remove the outermost primary feathers to prevent lift off, but removing the secondaries means should they manage to get up in a tree or shrub or perch, they’ll plummet quickly and can injury themselves. The latter primaries and Secondaries are left to help with a controlled glide to the ground.
I understand it doesn't hurt them, but man it pulls at my heartstrings. I am going to have to do my chickens (first time chicken mom) because I do not have kind neighbors and I am afraid if they did go over the fence, the neighbors won't return them. :( Thanks for this very important info.
Thank you for that. Ruth is very knowledgeable too. Glad she joined in the presentation!!

Ruth is absolutely darling!
This came out just in time for us to let our birds out to pasture. Thank you
We just moved our guineas and poults to their pasture, and studied up with your video to cut the keets’ wings. Low stress easy peasy!
Thank you for sharing this! Very well presented
The best description is like your clipping fingernails 😀

I was wondering when you would address this. as I know your turkeys like to fly or roost up high. Thank you. Ruth did great.

Math is the mostest importantest.

@@ParkrosePermaculture Kudos to being a math teacher. Teaching high school math was a thing I tried and failed hard at.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us but i need to know how to remove those wings from a chick for one week

Best to clip all feathers. Excluding blood feathers.

They wanna be everyone's turkeys.
They really do. They are sooooo social. Except they do NOT like my dogs. They know when they see them through the fence that it’s NOPE time
