Hello. I am in need of urgent help! See I live in a neighborhood where chickens are allowed but the slightest mishap or call from a neighbor about the disturbance of chickens then they are taken away and i will have to pay a fine! It seems a bit unfair but anyway. My chickens are OEGBs and they fly quite easily and are able to quickly fly over my 5ft tall fence and I do not want to lose my chickens! They even fly on the roof of my house and fly for a good 7ft to other houses! The only good thing is they come back to my backyard or to their "Home" since here was where they where raised and fed in. I tried clipping their wings but somehow they still fly over the fence! I am on a low budget so i can't buy a taller fence or some bird netting to put over the top of the fence. So please help me with a easy way to keep them contained. The rooster is impossible to catch and so is the hen. Also the hen is the one leading the rooster over the fence since he seems to go wherever she goes. And when i try to catch them to put in there coop they just fly away and on to the roof of my house! Please! Tell me of a way to keep them contained in my backyard without making them fly away and over the fence. I do not want to anger a neighbor by them getting out and flying to their backyard and calling to get them taken away so easily. I have grown attached to these chickens even though they are a pain to deal with. Also it need to be low budget because I'm going through some tough times and I just can not afford expensive building.
