Broken Flight Feathers

[David048]

hi - could someone advise me on what to do. we have a young brid which is on the darkness system and it has broken 2 flight feathers quite low down so not sure whether to pull em out. does that hurt the bird and will they grow back or do we just have to wait for them to molt out now?

you can pull them out now and they will grow back in time for racing

you can pull them out now and they will grow back in time for racing

thanks - does that hurt the pigeon? someone told me you can cut the feathers right down and then after that they will fall out on there own - is that true do you know or shall we jsut tug em out now?

would imagine it might hurt a little but it does not seem to bother them seconds later,you can cut them down but it takes a lot longer for them to fall out and grow back
