my chickens are climbing the fence....

[Dylon]

How do I stop it? The pen is too big to cover the top.Wings are clipped.

I thought of running more fencing at the top, and then bending it back so it curve in to the pen so its parallel to the ground inside the pen....to sort of make it knock them back into the pen.

Do you think that will work ?

I have the exact same problem... six foot fence made of 2x4 spaced galv welded wire... they walk up it like a ladder... perch on top. One was stuck in a tree tonight... How did that bending trick work for you? Other's thoughts????

It worked perfectly!!! Give it a try! I ran some 3 foot fence above what was already there, then bent it in half so its like an upside down L
