Just casually came across this. We are getting chickens next week. Never had them before. So anything I should know going in ?

I grew up on a small chicken farm. Mostly we just gathered eggs for ourselves and traded them for other food.
The biggest tip i always offer is, if you have an open top coop and you clip wings to stop them from flying out, only clip one wing. If you clip both they can still fly out.
Interesting. I hadn’t thought about flight. Not sure how I’ll deal with them
Another note on clipping wings. When they would get out I would pick them up and toss them over the top of the fence. They don’t fly well but they fly well enough to make a decent landing…unless they have a clipped wing in which case they fly like bowling balls.
That does make sense. Thanks
