Unless you like the look of chicken wire there is pretty much no way. Chickens go where chickens want to go. You can make a temporary cover for when they are out, but if they free range all day, that won't help you much. Mine have a large run and then they get a couple hours of free range a day, and they tend to stay around their coop and some wood debris we have from a tree we took down. But I know I'm lucky in that, they rarely go in my garden areas, unless it planting time, then they steal the corn seed.
There is a green coated chicken wire that I use in my garden. You can make a border fence with it, or hoop it over your vulnerable flowers. Not knowing how extensive your flower beds are, its hard to advise the best approach with the fencing. However, the green wire blends with your plants, so it's not as noticeable. It is also easy to cut, bend, and shape, you just need a basic set of wire cutters and a pair of gloves. Just watch your cut ends, while working with it, and be sure to fold them into your finished shape to avoid future snags and scrapes.

We let the birds put of their pen during the day. A few of them like to scratch the dirt out of some of the flower pots and beds. Is there a safe chicken repellent?

Fences, chicken tractors, which are tunnels that run around your garden to keep the chickens in the runs and eating bugs but not your plants.

Eat the Chickens. MMMMMM
Not sure why you want to keep them out as theirs is the best manure for flowers and vegetables.
