Chickens naturally fly. Not well or far, but they can get in a tree to roost if they want. That's why they get their wings clipped.

Farmers take that away from them, so all they have left is fight.

Imagine if someone came along and clipped all the fingers off your hand...

I think it's more like clipping some of your toes so you couldn't run too far.

More accurately toenails. Only the feather is cut, as far as I know.

I think both ways are done. Never felt the need to do either with mine though. They know when to come in for the night regardless.
