Chickens flying the coop

That's probably why mine don't jump over. They have nothing to land on before they make the leap.

Very cute coop by the way!

I would be more worried about them getting back to the run and accessing fresh water.

I asked if you clipped one of their wings with reason. If you clip both wings they can still fly. If you clip just one the can fly, but only in small circles. I have a 4' high board fence backed up with wire and an 18" piece of 1/4" plywood nailed vertically onto the top. Since they roost on the top board of the fence I'm sure they could get out. They just don't seem to want to. I don't know if that's just because they're happy or because they're Red Sex-Links. I'd like to think it's because they're happy.
