How long do you reckon before they realise they can jump over this? ;)

[magicpigeon]

It is about 60cm (that's approx. 2ft

) high and I know for a fact my light sussex can do it. The silkes, I'm not too sure. I constructed this today to stop them from wandering into the neighbour's yard. Also, to stop pooping near the clothesline

So, what do you think? Can they do it? How long until they teach the CHICKS to as well?!?!

Another sweltering evening perfect for sundrying...

About a nanosecond..... LOL I love your undulating fence line.

Not boring... I bet the chicks will teach the biguns...

LOL really?

Well, I've left all the food and water in there as a bribe so...

If they are happy enough and have lots to scratch at they may not bother jumping the fence.

I have 5 hens roaming my duck pen which is only 3feet tall with no roof. It took them until they had scratched out all the grass in that area before they ventured out.

I had some sussex that could clear the 6 ft fence with little effort.

hehehehe.... They have probably figured it out already- they just want to lull you into a false sense of security and when you least expect it, hop over for a long explore! Your back yard is so gorgeous- I love the tree with the twisty trunk! So fabulous! Have a great day!
