Which do you feel worse about. locking them up or losing the flowers? The only thing I've found to work is either fence them in or fence them out. You may need to be inventive in how to do that.
I don't know how pretty anything you do would need to be or how hard you want to work at it. All you want to do is keep chickens in or out, you are not worried about predators if you are free ranging. I use electric netting but that's for predators. You might be able to come up with a portable netting that works. Good luck!

My netting is 4' high. Mine fly up to roosts 5' high. If mine want to fly over the netting they can, but they don't. There are a few tricks to that. I do not clip wings.
