I use this fencing for my chickens, ducks, geese, and goats. No one has ever jumped over it. The goats got spooked once and ran through it, but other than that, I haven't had any issues. And we have serious predator activity up here. It's deterred bears. It wouldn't stop a mountain lion, but mountain lions won't rip off the side of the coop like a bear will.In general it could probably work; I'd likely figure out a way to keep the blocks from spreading apart, perhaps just tether the 2x4 to the metal fence stake you've got there.
What is the goal with such short fencing? A chicken can easily jump/fly over that if your goal is to contain them or keep them away from something.
