Helps chickens are flying out of the run.

As the title says I have some 4 almost 5month Wyandottes that fly up to a 6 foot fence then fly out. I need help on how to stop them from doing this.

You can clip their wings or get a roof over their pen. it is normal for chickens to fly 6 feet at full size unless you have a weird beed. if the fence has wide gaps they are great escape artists

I don't know where you are located, but if there are predatory animals or birds you should have a covered coop.

I have hawk netting over my entire run, works great to keep my agile bantams inside. Wing clipping would also greatly reduce the altitude they can gain.

Wing clipping, covering the area or installing a topper that extends at least 18 inches inward at a 45 degree angle around the perimeter.... or any combination thereof are among your options

there are not allot of choices clipping wings work I did it once time never had to again they learned where home is

I have deer or bird wire over the roof of my run. Keeps even my Hamburgs in, and they're agile fliers... for a chicken.

Thank you all! I was looking for something other then covering it since I couldn't find any netting like they use at pheasant farm around here.

I just built this to cover my 10x10 run.

I have 5 new hens fenced in my garden right now in quarantine. They flew out the first day. Clipped just the ends of the wings, not much at all off the flight feathers and they have been in since. Took 2 minutes to do all 5 of them.
