One of our 7 month old pullets, Sadie, has decided to start jumping over the fence in the backyard so she can go exploring in the woods.
Usually, they’ll spend their mornings in the coop/run and then I’ll move them out to a poultry cage in the backyard once everyone has laid and then complete free range in the fenced backyard for an hour or two before bed.
I love giving them the option to free range before bed because they love it so much but I’ve had to coax Sadie out of the woods almost everyday now. The others are content and stay in the yard. Would it help to clip her wings a little bit to prevent her from flying over the fence? The fence is 6 feet tall.
Thanks!
