How high can chickens jump?

[Mother of Chaos]

I have one token meat bird (got her for company until the layers were old enough to join the older hens i purchased). The rest are olive eggers, Easter eggers and cream legbars or back yard mixes of the aforementioned breeds. I’ve never seen meat bird jump, but the other pullets seem to perch on the chicken wire with regularity.
I like the idea of netting though. Would this also prevent raccoon invasion from the top? One night we saw them scale the 6 ft fence and had to beat it off to protect the ladies.
Is there a concern about them getting stuck in the netting? What kind of netting should we use?

Of my five, two are Easter Eggers who seem to regard our six-foot perimeter fence as their personal roost. Edit to add: The other three (barred rock, buff Orp, and speckled Sussex) are more gravity-bound and not interested in such foolishness.

I’m ordering the heavy-duty netting recommended above.

For those that have it, do the birds ever get stuck in it?

As far as I know, none of my birds have tried to escape with the netting. The twine diameter isn't quite as thick as the welded wire fencing around the bottom, but it is thick enough that the chickens seem to know that they can't get through it.
