6' X 80' will give your chickens an ample run, but don't expect grass to survive in it for long. Some chickens fly quite well - especially when young. If the trees have low branches they might well serve as an escape route. Wing clipping - just the flight feathers on one wing - will cramp their style somewhat. The trees should not need wrapping to protect them from the chickens.
