    Keeping chickens from jumping out of yard

    Hi, I'm looking for ideas on how to keep the chickens from jumping out of the yard. My fence is about 5'5" tall. Also, I have a coop near the fence. It would be difficult to move the coop (it was already there, it's set in concrete floor, etc.). Sometimes the chickens are jumping on top of...
