Anything that looks like a roost is a invitation to the other side lol, only clip wings is they still jump over.

Now, my birds just climb over the fence, the same kind of fencing you have there. There's no pole for them to grab or anything. Just up and away, hahaha. I hope clipping their wings will help. Thank you.

Mine fly out of their pen all the time the problem is they're not smart enough to figure out how to fly back into it. I'm about to redo their whole pin and I've got a 40 by 50 ft net I'm going to put over it. I do not clip my chicken's wings because I let them free range occasionally and I want them to be able to get away from predators

Thank you Sonya for the idea and inspiration! Some of my birds are just small and flighty and i have been looking for a way to contain them.

I clipped my chickens wing and it still hops out of a 4 ft fence

Chickens look for the fence rail to perch on then hop off so what I did was two stands of twine about three inches inside from rail another three inches from that so if the don't have a perch. Cause they can't perch on twine

I have to differ here. I have no rail at the top of my wire fence, same kind of wire Sonya has there, and my birds climb up and over it all the time!! Shoot, I can't hardly keep them in! Wing clipping is on the agenda.

I’ve got birds getting up into the garage rafters to roost🤣. Not all the time because I don’t want them in there but one will sneak in and in the evening I’ll remember I was in the garage earlier….. go investigate and there’s a happy girl up high looking down like….. ha ha now you gotta get an ear of corn to entice me down!!!!! Anyone want some spoiled hens?😂

Hahaha, no thanks! I've got 11 of my own spoiled hens, plus one hen just hatched 5 babies. I'll probably be asking if anyone wants roosters!

20 pound fishing line. I use it to keep birds from pooping on the fence. Going to try it on the chicken fence

I do add chicken wire around my fence of my garden. My dogs chase them back into the garden they know it very safe in there. Most of the time they do want out the are to spoiled.

My barred is still getting out. They are a stubborn breed but very friendly. I will be sticking to road islands for now on.

Does not work on mine...they use their toes to climb the fence while flapping wildly with their clipped wings. I may need to extend the fence height with wire strands.

My birds go over the fence and go two doors down because an old man throws out food! Then another neighbor started... But the chickens are going to get hurt. They are also digging in other neighbors flower gardens. They literally make their rounds., And now they're crossing the street. A dog already almost took one out. I have 19. 2 are Roo's. It's one roo and his girls who do it. Like I said I already clipped wings ... No luck

It's two years later ...I extended my fences from 4ft tall to six+ feet tall. They every once and a while would find a breech in the fence. I'd fix it. Back to normal....BUT one of my Polish mixes can actually fly. I was trying hard to collect eggs and deal with broody hens as they came.... But this girl flew over every single day untill she had a clutch of eggs to sit on. Hid, layed on them and hatched 6 babies across the street in a bush and funny thing is no one knew where in the world she was going! I would follow her and follow her but she hid, and never led me back to her nest!! 🤣 Finally neighborhood kids come telling me they heard chirping.

Can this be done at 4 weeks old? Do the feathers grow back? How often does one need to do this?
