The past couple of days my free range ladies have discovered that they can use a shelf to jump up onto the top of my outdoor freezer (with the boxes of canning jars up there they are about 7 or so feet off the ground), but then they don't come back down.
I know they like to be up in things... off the ground and so forth, but are they so challenged in their little heads that they can't figure out how to come back down?
I have had to get them off the top of the freezer 3 days in a row now... last night there were two of them roosted up there and another on the shelf next to the freezer like she didn't want to be left alone but there wasn't enough room up there for her to be comfy.
We got them down well after dark, put them into their house and have shut the door (they have a chicken tractor type of enclosure, so they are still able to be out in the sunshine and shade and so on) to keep them there for a bit.

any way to keep them from getting on top of the freezer short of closing off the area that the freezer is on? They are molting right now, so I don't see that clipping their wings is an option... since they can "fly" right on up there with almost no wing feathers as it is...
