Hi all
Our chickens keep flying up on the fence and out of the run into the off-limit garden and it's driving me and my husband bonkers!
How high do we need to build the fence?
It is now 4ft (1.20m) and it has Alcatraz-style overhanging chicken wire on top. We also tried fixing a single steel thread across so that they couldn't land easily, but they still do. Fixing a roof ain't an option as the run is massive.
Or do you have any other tips apart from clipping their wings?
Cheers,
