A great article for a beginner on how to clip a chicken's wings. This is the method I use and it works very well. This depends on the size of your chicken though. I have used this wing clipping method on small breeds and it doesn't really prevent flight. As long as you have a fence that is at least 6 feet, wing clipping will always be a perfect solution.
I really enjoyed reading this interesting, informative article! I have heard how heat lamps can be a cause of fire and I definitely wouldn't use it. As long as my coop is well insulated with my 10 chickens, things should turn out fine!
