Hi. My name is Maddi. I just got chickens, and they are only about two months old right now. I have them in the coop, still, but I wanted to know (I heard from a friend) if they will try to fly out of the yard and roost in the trees?? I'm going to add some pictures. There will me my yard, which is in a rectangle shape. The bottom and top of the right side is chain link, but the bottom and top left is Privacy fence. (if you split it in half). I wanted to know if my chickens will try to fly out and roost in the trees which are on the other sides of the fence, or just try to fly over. Our neighbors who put up the privacy fence originally have eight dogs, who I am sure would not mind eating some chickens. (Not wanting that to happen) So I was wondering if they would do that. I have red sex links, which I've heard are an adventurous breed. (Rhode Islands) and I wasn't sure what to do. I have some time to decide, but I really want free rangers, and we have a large yard, so I was thinking that maybe if they weren't unhappy or looking for more, they wouldn't go searching. Thanks!!! (Above photo is my yard)
