thank you I’ll try to put chicken wire up!Chickens love to perch during the day. They love flying up on things and just sitting there. The top of your fence is perfect for that since it has a rail up there. Once the get up there who knows which side they will hop down on.
The way I've handled that is to not give them a good place to perch up there. I took some stiff wire (chicken wire can work, I used 2x4" welded wire) and attached it so about 12" to 18" stood up above the top of the fence. If you attach it at the top of the fence and the low end to the middle of the fence it should stand up. I did not use smaller hardware cloth because of cost and it would be more visible than the other wire. I did not think it looked bad but if you want it to pretty much disappear paint it black or dark green.
You can try putting something for them to perch on inside the run, hopefully it will help. But maybe something to fall back on if it doesn't work. Good luck!
