or you could get a tall fence off chicken wire or hard ware cloth and set it up as a pen so they cant go over or under to get out

You can make this with PvC and zip ties as well for alot less if your just going to use it in the yard till they are big enough for the coop.

4 long pieces of sucker rod that I found in the scrap pile and a roll of 3ft tall chicken wire. I could have used t-posts, but I can pull the thin sucker rod out of the ground easier and get it back in easier when I move my little "pen" around for my babies.
