| I would like to say its not a problem. However chicken manure is high in "N". If there are a bunch of chickens defecating under the tree your tree could end up being over fertilized to the point where it becomes unhealthy. |

| Agree with thisisme. Also I won't want chicken poo on my fruit. Better wash it well at the least. |

| lol this is funny im from wis and have same prob with apple trees.first off they dont just roost they like to peck at the apples or tomatoes they just are nosey like checking things out.once they find a good spot they tend to roost there. i came across some stuff at a tree nursery called never roost its like black tar with some type of hot peppper mix in it this old man swore by it he gave me burlap for wrapping root balls and had me wrap just the bottom branches and apply lil amount of this black goo.after bout week remove burlap they have learned not to go in that tree.kinda like when you get juvenile birds you lock em in coop for 3 days cause if you bring em to new location and let em loose they wander off.chickens are smarter than most people realize.I can call mine and they come from half mile away but only reason they come is because i feed em hot water and mushy bread.either way good luck |
