My side neighbour allows his hens to free-range and often I see them in my back neighbour's yard beside my chicken fence or even in my own yard, but not inside my chicken fence, yet... If they fly over to my chicken yard will my chickens attack? .. I have 2 roosters in one side and another sectioned off in another coop along with the pullets and hens. All mine are Silkies.
.. So do I need to warn the free range neighbour his chickens may be roasted?

my neighbour’s 3 lf chickens often come in the afternoon to freerange with my 5 lf hens. They are treated with the occasional rough peck, but still choose to hang around...
so if your neighbor’s chickens hop over, I supposed normal pecking order behavior will ensue.

Not sure how having roos will change things though, as I don’t own any...
 
So far they just make alarm noises if they see neighbour's hens on the other side of the fence, and just keep watching them.
. Maybe the roosters will try to mate any hen that crosses over instead of fight 😂
