    no mate there is no need to clip there wings as they are ground birds just make sure you give them a perch to roost on in there hutch.The point of lay bit is very misleading as iv had birds from 18 weeks at POL and its taken the 12 weeks more to start laying but once your type of bird starts laying they will keep going and you will soon be selling the extra eggs to pay for some feed. hope this helps t thanks are loham browns just ground birds are they bread for that purpose i have heard some chickens flying over fences so im reassured by your answer thanks
