I have been given two quite long squares god knows what they were used for they are about 3 ft wide and about 10 foot long and about 3 foot high will these be ok for a run for about 6 chuck's or are they not high enough.

Not ideal Jim but more than sufficient. In an ideal world, the run would be hight enough for them to jump up and down onto perches withn the run. But heck ! With the price of wire, those will do the business a treat, especially if the run is attached to a chicken shed that has some height about it.
