Hello all! I've been reading and learning from this great forum. I have a private acre and about 10 hens. Normally they free range happily in my yard and sometimes spill over behind me where they can roam no problem.
Unfortunately, now that the ground is frozen they keep going to my neighbors garden which is her pride and joy. She has protected her perennials with mulch and, well, you can imagine. She has been very patient with me, but I need to solve asap. I have some plastic fencing running across the driveway that they go down, but she saw them hop it. My house is on banked hill, so they don't have that many ways to access her yard. I am thinking about running some flagging above it with strips hanging down to blow in the wind. If not, maybe putting up a small electric fence at that spot.
Any input would be appreciated! I do not want to pen them in.
