how high of a fence?

[sheeshshe]

my neighbor has mixed breeds so Im not sure exactly what they are considered as far as heavy or light breeds...

they currently free range but have been roaming the neighborhood a bit so she'd like to contain them a bit

so you think 5ish feet would be sufficient?

My main fencing is chicken wire. I have electric wire going around the outside of my coop, run and my bird's yard for predator control.
My fence is 4ft high but I have a line up about a foot higher. My birds wings are not clipped and they stay in their yard.

That is really great!!!

I would extend the fence to be at l3ast 6' high, especially since you do not clip your birds' wings. Typically they should not be able to clear a 6' fence, but a 4' fence would be a cinch. I am assuming you want to keep them in as much as you want to keep predators out.

And assumes you have to airborne predators, in which case you should think about how you will deter them.
