Keeping chicks in

[Anna and The Girls]

Hi, I am having trouble keeping my chicks out of the neighbors yard. They are trying to get away from the chickens in the yard, but they are now going into a whole nother street. Are there any training tricks that I should do? The neighbors have a fence around their yard, but the chicks can just jump threw it. I am waiting for them to get fat and big, but it is just not happening. Thank you

I would personally consider getting a dog kennel and put burlap around it so they dont get out.

you could probably get a used one on cregslist

another idea you could do depending on there size is get a rabbit pen that has a cove over it,like this one->https://www.amazon.com/Panel-Plaype...587&sr=8-1&keywords=rabbit+playpen+with+cover

Welcome to BYC!
You pretty much have to use fencing/mesh sized to the birds you are trying to contain.
The area your pic shows looks like even adult birds could get under there.

Okay, thank you. We let them free range, so I am not sure about the rabbit hutch, but we do have a pen that they also fly out of, so I will try it.

It's lovely to free range, but most folks find there are times they need to be confined for their safety(predators) or harmony in the neighborhood. Good to have a secure run that they cannot get out of and nothing else can get into.
