My chickens are driving my CRAZY! I've killed and eaten a few of the worst offenders, who won't stay out of the yard no matter what, but still....aaaarrrrrggghh. I've read about clipping their wings, I've read about netting, and I've had no luck with either. I don't want to contain them in a coop permanently. I like that they follow the cows and sheep around, and I love their eggs. But still, aaarrrrgghhh! I don't know if there is a solution, but I needed to vent. Thanks y'all.
At least it gives my terrier something to do, she knows they are not allowed in the yard and does a pretty good job of chasing them out, but it usually takes my swearing loudly a few times before she realizes they are there.
