Is 5' high chicken run high enough?

Easter Eggers are escape artists and will easily clear fences 10 feet tall. I breed them. Unless you are willing to free range them, a covered run or clipped wings are a must.
 
I was going to sink the wire down in the ground.

Area I am fencing off is between the coop and the shed. I figured that would give them a lot of room.
 
Chickens can easily fly over a 5' fence but unless you have some very flighty birds they most likely won't. Clipping the wings should be fine if you're concerned about them ending up in the street or a neighbor's yard.
