How high can a clipped wing Muscovy fly?

Title basically says it. Would a Muscovy Duck be capable of clearing an 8ft fence if one of its wings was clipped? Thanks

It depends on how short you cut the feathers and how many of them. Remember, the feathers grow back in.
My experience is with parrots, not ducks but I expect it would apply. the idea of clipping one wing makes it harder for them to control the direction of their flight. I might consider some netting over their enclosure.

After having hawks and other predators take chickens and rabbits I will never build another pen without a sturdy fence roof.

Thanks guys. Hmm may have to pinion in that case, since I've heard it's more effective and people haven't seen their birds fly more than 3 feet high after the procedure. I hate to make them literally "sitting ducks" but I can't afford them flying over the fence with Muscovy laws, and this is a huge area (1/2 acre) I don't think a top would be very economical.
