chickens again



dear all,

would like to ask for personal experiences with using chickens on vegetable beds. This is first time for us - before we kept chickens on grass and alfalfa, or free range and now want to use them for reconditioning garden beds. I am interested if anyone knows how long you can keep tractor on the same spot without destroying soil organisms and/or soil tilth. Is it better to move them frequently and let them work same area many times, or let them be over a bed for extended period of time, say 2 weeks, and return them back next year?
