I put up a 36 inch chicken wire fence around my garden - kept out the chickens and the wild rabbits.
Did you ever think, of surrounding your garden with an electric fence? I'm on only 1 acre, and I keep my chickens fenced In with electric ⚡️ poultry netting. You can buy it online or at your local feed store.
We also have free range chickens who "discover" the garden each year and wreak havoc. Our best solution is to clip their wings. It doesn't hurt them, but makes it harder/impossible to fly over the fence (you do still need a fence around your garden, of course). Here are some instructions: http://www.instructables.com/id/Clipping-Chic...>
You could make a wire tunnel where you want your chickens to roam in and around your garden. It does not have to be very high and they will still be free range!
Thank you! I still want to add some shrubs and trees to the area. But it's a work in progress.
