You'd probably get away with just a 1m high chicken wire fence.
Although chickens can jump a lot higher than this, they always jump up
on to something rigid first then jump down. So a 1m chicken wire fence
would be better than a 6 foot panel fence for keeping them in. Also the
bigger the bird the less likely they are to attempt anything athletic!

Damned thing got into next door /again/ yesterday, and made a right mess
of her garden. :- She's going to have to stay locked in (Chickeny, not
the neighbour!) until we can figure out what to do

Where is this? If it's a semi in a suburban location somewhere in the UK I
thought that it was verboten to keep chickens - the council doesn't allow
it here sadly.
