Yes, chickens do all those things and more!! My dh finally made me a cottage garden fence so I could have a garden area but the rooster jumps the fence and then call all the hens. Some of the waddlers can't make it over the fence so he doesn't bother so often! All of the seedlings are grown by now so mostly they just get the bugs, which is okay with me. But this spring, I was considering an electric fence! HA! or a chicken tractor!

Now the veggie garden is in a different location that we have fenced around to keep those chickens out! They like to hang out on the back porch where it's cool and they poop all over. Drives my dh crazy. Now he's convinced that the chickens are digging all the holes for their dust baths. It's the dogs doing the digging.

I told my dear hubby that we (He) should build them a chicken cabana. You know, a covered area for them with a sand box for bathing and misters to keep them cool in the summer. He keeps saying "but they're chickens!"
