Jailhouse Chickens

Your input would be appreciated.... So these wonderful girls who provide us with tasty eggs every week have developed a taste for almost ripe heirloom cherry tomatoes. They jump the fence snack, then scurry away as I approach knowing they are in big trouble.  I cannot make the fence any higher so I propose setting up a jailhouse for chickens that we catch outside of the fence. I am not sure how much 'time' they should do. Maybe if we move all the houses as far away from the tomato area as we can and then release them after a week or so?

Help me here people... Nigel
