What is the best fence height for standard breeds of chickens? My pullets are a mix of BR, GLW, SLW, BO, BA, LB and EE's. My rooster a mixed breed faverole has already demonstrated that the 4 foot fence can be mastered and he is putting himself in the corner with his head in a red cedar tree. I was under the impression that big heavy breeds can't fly that high, maybe as young birds, but not as adults.
We are going to fence off an area behind the coop that will be approximately 25 x 50. Should I get the 6 foot 2x4 welded wire instead of the 4 foot tall?
Front of the coop:
Back area that still needs to be fenced, we have removed the one dead tree in the middle:
Temporary Rooster house aka Hoss's House:
On top of the 4 foot fence:
