Subj. Just found a ranch with tons of chickens but they run away from me and are not stopped by the fence. Is it supposed to let them through? Unharmed, even?

i have seen flying animals that show “x flies over deep water (or some other terrain)”  
But chickens cant fly, so… maybe that got overlooked, in any case, i think they didnt walk through it, but instead fly over it.

i mean, normal barbed wire is meant for cattle and big animals (like humans and dogs) ![barbed wire](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/cataclysmdda/original/2X/9/927c7d55ede64612666c1fba29b1fba50983cb52.jpeg)  
You need chickenwire for chickens, since they probably fit through the gaps (unless you’re making those ww1 barbed wire deppression mazes on pic related)

Yeah a chicken would hardly slow down for a regular barbed wire fence. Also, while chickens can’t exactly fly they can pull off a pretty damn good wing assisted jump.
