The chickens keep escaping out of the pen!

Well since we had chickens they were free to run freely around our garden but after they ruined the grass (as it became muddy) and they attacked my mom's vegetable patch we decided that we would create an area just for the chickens.

We bought a pen that goes around the area where the hens eglus are, so that they still have their freedom but don't ruin the garden.

Even though every so often they still get out, and we (by we I mean my parents and little sister) spend some time getting them back into their pen area when they escape.

Our garden has since started recovering but their is only one other problem. When we put bread out in the chicken area, our dog Bertie becomes jealous and wants to eat the chicken's food. So this results in him getting his head stuck through the mesh.



To be fair this is probably how the chickens are escaping. Through the holes where we have to cut the dog out. Bertie the dog still won't learn though all because he loves food so much.
