Unfortunately, chickens go where chickens want to go. You can try a more decorative type, low fence and offering them plants you don't care if they tear up in the ares you want them to go, but other than chicken wire covering the flower beds, chickens are pretty hard to deter
Put some chicken wire fencing around the flower garden. It doesn't really have to be that tall. Also an idea is to hang old foil pie pans around the fenced area to keep birds or any other critters out of your flowers.
If these are your chickens you will have to fence them in. Even when you feed them it is their nature to forage. You can put a compost pile in their enclosure and they will be happy to keep it turned over and weed-free. Happy chickens and happy flower gardener.
I live in the city and I used to have chickens in my back yard. I already had a compost pile so I just put in a chicken house and a fence. Occasionally I’d buy crickets for them. If you want spiced eggs grow spices in the compost but lay rocks or bricks around them so the chickens can’t up-root them. Or cover them with wire baskets to regulate how far they can strip the plants. When you dig and divide your garden plants, plant one in fhe chicken garden. Anything that makes their space more attractive to them.
