flight feathers

[JR Poultry and Game]

if i want to show my bantams, will i be marked down if they have had there flight feathers cut???

The quick reply is YES. What type of bantams do you have?

You may also find they will have difficulty moulting the cut feathers when the time comes. My first hens had clipped wings and when they moulted the old feathers never came out properly, the stubs just seemed to get stuck in there. Since then I've just relied on getting my hens really tame so they don't fly away and are easy to catch!
