Can chickens jump high (with the use of their wings of course)? How high of a fence would you need to make sure they never escape? Also are chickens smart? Should you keep just females or would a mix be better to keep them happier?|||Chickens can fly! (mostly short distances of course) So unless the tips of the wings have been clipped off at birth, (depending on the breed) they can probably fly any where from 3 to 9 feet high or so. But for many chickens a 4 - 5 foot fence will work, but research your breed.
My silkie bantam is only supposed to fly one foot high, but some how she manages to escape from a 3 foot high fence, She jump/flies as far as she can in the corner and climbs the rest of the way out. I gave up and now just let her roam free threw out the yard.
