I'd like to plant some apple, pear, apricot, cherry, and peach trees. Can I plant those in the same area I will have chickens in? I thought they could provide some shade and protection for the chickens and they would be fenced in so the deer won't eat my fruit. But then I wonder if the chickens would harm the trees somehow and is it safe for the chickens to eat the fruit that drops? I thought another benefit of this would be the chickens eating alot of insect pests which would protect the fruits. Thoughts?
