My chickens keep flying over the fence

[radu43]

I live in the Bay Area San Francisco. And I don't seem to be able to manage my chickens they keep flying over the fence
Is there a place in the bay area they will take my chickens?

Thank you

Wait.. what do you want to do? get rid of them because they kept flying over the fence?

Clip the long feathers

You can either clip the flight feathers on 1 wing or fence the top of your run. I live in town & I do both. Each bird has 1 wing clipped & all of my runs are fenced top & bottom. The only time I have escapees is when my son leaves the door open. But they never go more than a few feet from the run & all I have to do is herd them back around it to the gate.

We built a covered run for them. Yes they fly pretty high depending the breed. You can clip one side of their flight feathers. There's a lot of info online how to do this.

Here's our run.

Run an on Craigslist. It sounds to me that you'd rather just be done. Hope you find them a good home.

If you want to keep them, get some inexpensive deer netting (7 ft.*100ft) for about $20-25 and cover your area. It's light and can be cut as long as you want it. Secure to fence with nylon ties etc.
