Under! Ok that makes more sense. I was wondering why a BO would be flying up to a 4' fence. They can when young but once they get some weight to them, I never see it.

well..you could..since moneys tight..and Im so cheap and would rather reuse or make something. try what i would do. I would cut some small trees or straight limbs and stick them into the top of the chain link and wire...string ...duct tape..or if your me its this red tape that i seem to have tons of ..and can never find the duct tape

lol and secure them so they are sticking up making the dog kennel higher, then add more strings or whatever in between them and then..tie either some walmart bags.. ( mine go CHICKEN over bags, they are terrified over them..anything that moves ) or that flag tape. Make sure they just cant land on the top of it...and then later one when you save your pennies and can get some chicken wire cover the top. Hope this helps...hey pie pans the cheap throw away kind will work too or maybe some cd's.

Well one of my SLW is now missing. I saw one yesterday that looked like mine in the alley behind the house but since I just feed them treats less than 10 minutes earlier and all were there I didn't think she was mine, now I know. My neighbors behind me has chickens and I think she is with them. Neighbors were gone all day today so will go tomorrow and talk to them.
