I live in the city and have chain link fence on one side of my yard. Three of my 8 hens ocassionally jump the fence and look for bugs in my neighbors yard. The house is up for sale and no one lives there. But the owner is obviously not chicken friendly(not really friendly at all) and lo and behold animal control showed up this week because of her complaint. Well I took him in my back yard and he was so surprised. He was expecting 40-50 chickens running loose the way she told it to him. Anyway, I am with in compliance and he said in 10 years he has never seen such a beautiful coop. Just have to keep the 3 trouble makers on my side of the fence.
So....should I clip their wings? Do you clip one or both wings? Will they still be able to fly on to their roost?
Help? I really dont want to put up a fence...I dont want my neighbor to think she won!!!
