Flight Damaged

[sapper756]

If a bird has a badly damaged flight, and the fancier decides to pull out the damaged flight, how long does it take for the bird to fully grow a new flight?

And what effect will this have on the bird, if any?

Bang on, and it stops the moult until the new flight has grown, then it continues where it left off.

If the flight is broken then you can join it with another cut flight using a needle and super glue. Similar to joining two bits of wood with a dowel.I won Cheltenham with a yearling after doing this.
