Chickens are purported to help with pest control, especially Small Hive
Beetle which the chickens scratch out of the ground to eat. They also
keep the weeds down too...not to mention the grass. In fact if you
don't' want to mow under/near your hives, then fencing a chicken run
around the hives can help with lots of things.
