alk630 don't your chooks just fly on top of the cube and fly away over the top?

 

My chooks have 'the grass is greener' thought all the time. I was actually wondering how high fences would need to be before they would be prevented from escaping. It seems the white star, sussex and ambers are the worst offenders.

 

I like the idea of electified netting but would it stop them from flying over it? Clipped wing makes no difference.

Shhhh... don't tell them! I dunno why they don't, but I think the picture is deceiving and there's quite a bit of clearance around the Eglu. We clipped one of each of their wings when we first got them all last August and apart from the odd unsuccessful (and subsequently painful shock) jump at the netting they don't seem to bother trying to escape :D
