I plant acre half sweet corn for roadside market. I run electric fence around sweet corn. I have watched the chickens go under the fence at times and it does not seem to bother them.I have a predator proof coop & run with a perimeter fence where my chickens free range now .Attaching chicken wire all along the bottom of the perimeter fence & running a couple strands of electric fence now. My leghorns will probably fly over it...
Must be enough insulation from the feathers? Or they are not grounded well enough? The coon seem to find the fence though keeps them at bay.
