What is it tied TO?

That is likely part of the problem- it is tied to itself, instead of a
frame. If I inderstand OPs post correctly, the enclosure, aside from maybe
some corner posts, is basically a chicken-wire box. So all the joints flex
all the time, which will make a zip tie fail quickly, sunlight or not. The
volunteers need to scrape up some 2x2 and 2x4, and build an actual chicken
coop frame (mini-POW cage style), and attach the chicken wire to that with
fence staples, like Old McDonald and God intended.

I remember once as a kid, when I got roped into feeding a neighbor lady's
hobby chickens while her and my mother were out doing something together one
day. When I got there around dusk, one of the roosters was strutting around
the yard outside the pen, just as pleased as he could be with himself. But
it was all show- as soom as he realized I was there, he ran back to the pen,
and stuffed himself back in, right through the overlapped chicken wire
joint. He knew where his 'safe' zone was.
