I work from home so i've started letting my chickens roam all day. I have a mostly wooded lot. The chickens used to mainly stick to the back yard and wooded edge, but now they've become quite comfortable and are now in the front a LOT. I didn't mind here and there, but now I'm battling CONSTANT chicken poop. Its like having an extra dog. Any advice to get the chickens back. We tried 4' fence but they just hop that. I have a run large enough for them, but I feel bad. It doesn't get as much sun and they've picked all the green out of it. Do I have to just live with this until my next round of birds when these gals stop laying or lock them up? My husband would like to clip their wing but I'm not keen on this (severe animal lover here). Any thoughts are welcome!
