United States Department of Agriculture advises confining back yard hens to a fenced area to prevent straying into neighbors gardens. Use wire fencing, consider top coverage in areas with cats, clip wing flight feathers if needed, and provide a large yard with green crops like oats and rye for exercise. Consider movable frames and rotating plots to grow greens, keep soil healthy, and reduce odors while hens forage.
