covered the top with chicken wire like a canopy. About 6ft 4 in height.

That looks nice and safe! I would consider cutting a few portholes at chicken height so that they can see outside. Cover with mesh. Mine love to lay in their run and on their perches and just watch the world go by when not free ranging. They might get a bit stir crazy if not able to see much.
How well does the chicken wire hold up without sagging? It's a lot cheaper than hardware cloth.
I have a center post that is taller than the fencing. I also have them zip tied together while also being stapled to the fence using Poultry staples. It’s only been up a day but was easy to put up and light enough where I can’t imagine too much sagging.
