Put a fence up if I were you.

Keep a fox as a pet! That'll keep the blighters away! Other than that, the fence is all you can do, but it's up to your neighbour to provide that! They're his chickens, after all. Have you had a quiet word with him about them eating your plants? If not, that would be a good start. Annie

Also check out the local livestock laws. There may be some rules requiring them to be cooped, or something. I don't know about UK chickens, but they fly around too much to stopped by a mere fence here! : )
