Chicken free house
« on: June 05, 2015, 18:31 »
Anyone got an idea for keeping chickens out but kitchen and patio doors open in this lovely weather?

Would a bead curtain work?  :unsure:

Deer netting works great.  Too flimsy at the top for them to hop to the top of it and makes a great barrier.  Or maybe one of those hanging magnetic screen curtains that keep out bugs?

They would push through a bead curtain. Difficult one other than fencing them in or out! :D

Stairgate for the door and maybe just open patio door enough to use one there as well.

Mine come into the conservatory/utility room but they know not to enter the kitchen and whilst they will test my resolve I just shoo them back, when in the kitchen making a drink.

I am usually working in the utility room and whilst I am in there they don't bother exploring. I think they just like company :D 

Should I go down the garden with a garden fork or spade in my hands then I have their undivided attention ;)
