Racoons tore up part of the fence, and now the chickens were getting out. The neighbors probably had a riot watching me pluck them one by one from their yard - several times until I figured out where they were getting out.
I've patched it but I'm still concerned. Now that they've tasted freedom (which apparently tastes like the clover patches in the neighbor's yard) they've gotten more clever than I would have given them credit for.

My neighbors let their chickens out to act as organic pest killers in their yard. When she wants them back in the coop she just shakes the food bucket and they follow her right back into the coop to get fed.

I don't need them wandering. We live in a duplex that we own, but we rent the other half to a couple and we share the backyard. I don't know that they'd mind chickens pooping all over their back lawn, but I haven't asked, so I'd rather not let them just run loose.
Edit: Whoops, i swore! Fixed

Once the raccoon tastes chicken you won't need to worry much about what the chickens might want to taste.
