We've had chickens for 4 years, 2 coops. Recently, one of the neighbors girls, about 8 years old and possibly autistic, keeps coming over uninvited near the chickens, and we found her naked in the coop today. We've told her not to go near the chicken coup but she doesn't listen, and the parents could care less about the girl.
This is a both a liability problem due to risk of injury and disease, as well as a potential threat to the chickens as she could let them out or steal the eggs.
What measures should I take? I figure the most I can do is put locks on the latches and make sure there are no sharp edges on the run fencing. Maybe even signage too, because I've seen signs on horse farms that say enter at your own risk. I live in the Pennsylvania suburbs by the way
