How do I keep my chickens in the yard???

Fence is still the best answer. It's the only thing that will stop them from walking all over. It will also slow down predators, so good fencing is really a must.

Is it better to use an electric fence or do you need a really tall fence? I am trying not to clip wings but want to keep them away from neighbors.

We do not have a fence, nor do any neighbors. The neighbors do not mind the chickens so far but I still want to keep them in my yard when free ranging without buying a fence. Any Ideas?
