What Happened To All those Left Wings???

At birth, all farmed chickens have their left wings amputated to prevent any daring escape attempts.

CLOSE to truth! Actually, you just clip the wing feathers of one wing. That makes them unbalanced, and they cannot fly like that. Not really applicable for most chickens, since they are raised totally indoors. But a must for "yard-birds" that are in an open top fence. Quirky info, I know!

Interesting. I thought I was just making a funny. Glad to know I'm naturally CLOSE to smart.
