Fence height

[marktoo]

Ok, interesting. So your saying it's better not to have a top cap " wood" on top of the fence. Gives them something to aim for. Use just wire instead ??

My Wyandotes have not gotten out since I switched from a 40" plastic that they would sit on, to a 48" wire fence. I think the wire is kinda tough on their feet but to my knowledge they have never even tried.

Can I get everyone opinion on which breeds are best for having a low fence ? Thank you

with clipped wings mine could make it over a five foot fence

brahma, heavier breeds are more ground oriented

My chickens are able to get on top of there ten foot run. Even with clipped wings, three feet could easily be jumped!

My Leghorns can easily jump onto my shoulders, that's at least 5 feet.
