I have a 5ft wall at the top of my garden if i clip a wing of each chicken will it stop them from flying over it, black rocks

should be ok, as long as they know theres food in the garden, they shouldent want to try and get out over that hight.

I clip 5 or so feathers of one wing on mine, a couple of 08 birds have started roosting in a young ash tree at about the 6 foot mark, so I cut the lower brush and now theyre upto 8 foot!

Clip one wing three feathers. They won't fly out.

 

Alternatively check out orpingtons - they can't clear 3 feet!!! but are beautifull feathered birds - great layers.

 

(the feathers of the partridge tie good wets )

I clip wings, some lighter breeds will clear that height easily but you should be ok.

i have 30 odd chickens (all large fowl) and i clip the wings on one side only, some of my lighter birds can still clear a 5 foot fence!
