running away...

[Cathy Henny]

we have currently 18 chickens we lost multiple when they leave for the neighbouring houses. they are free range and have 80 acres of land that is ours but leave for the neighbours house. they don't have chickens anymore but when they did we had several roosters join their flocks. When they leave they get attacked by our neighbour's wold hybrid and attacked my hawks and feral cats. Does anyone have any solutions for chickens roaming?

Yes, build a run for them.
Free ranging is risky

Two great posts a good fence is the only way field wire at least 5 feet
