My husband has built a nice house plus run that leads out to a fenced off area for them to free range. They are still new to here and are acclimatising to the run. New to chickens he built fencing only waist high. We have an australorp, 2 RIR x New Hampshires and one isa brown. We also have a little shih tzu dog in our backyard. I am concerned now that the fence is too low and they may fly over it. I am also worried that they may climb into one of the bush trees we have in the fenced off area such as our oleandar and get out. What do you think? Our neighbours have 2 isa browns and their fence is low too so that is why we built it that way. their chickens are older though our are around the 12 week mark
