Hi!
First time flock keeper
Last week one of my pullets flew outside of her 5 foot fence and was killed by our neighbors’ dog. I heightened the fence by about a foot and yesterday another pullet was out. I really didn’t want it to come to this, but I’m thinking I should clip wings to keep them safe. I’m not sure if I should clip the whole flock or just the ones I catch out of their run. They have all taken their turns with that in the past but since I heightened the fence it seemed to be less frequent.
I just want to keep them safe.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
