We’ve tried flexible chicken fencing, we’ve tried modern style cow fencing, we lately tried construction fencing (!?), hoping that was high enough. But there are always those chickens who fly like the eagle and would do anything to get to the other side!
Sometimes it’s their inner compass and sense of direction: they want to go where they were before (as our chickens roam around the paddocks and move every few weeks to a new pasture). The trouble is, all infrastructure is in the new area of the paddock, including water pipes and fox protection (a.k.a. Maremma’s). Big problem for the daily hunt for eggs as well.
I somehow need to remind them: your grass also looks greener – from the other side!!!
