Chicken free ranging area covered

[nana.chickies]

I have 10 acrea and put my chicken coop on the west side of my property. They like to forage in the lot next to me. It seemed ok until someone bought the property. I then used chicken wire along my bob wire fencing trying to keep the chickens on the property. Well they seem to be smarter than I thought. I am not finished putting my wire up to the gate. Well, they are now going the length of the wire and going around to get to the property next to me again.

What can I do to discourage them from going into the next door property?

Does anyone have a suggestion?

I was told to try using a varmint scent. Has anyone tried this and found any success?

Put up adequate fences.

Fencing them in completely is the only way. They can be really good about getting out and really bad about getting back again.

i put up fencing around two acres that the chickens range on because otherwise they will go onto the neighbors yard every single day. sometimes they still sneak under the fence but luckily our neighbors like them.
