Hi,
I have several adult chickens, various breeds. I have only one that can fly, flew out of fence once and never again. I have purchased some chicks, now 4 weeks old. They are Crested Polish and didn't think about them flying over my four foot fence. Do you think they need a covered run or will they be content to stay in the large fenced area we have? We have 4 dogs, walked near the chicken area, and our neighbor has 7 dogs. Should I be concerned about them flying over the fence? Is it their nature to want to explore or are they more content staying near home?
