Chickens are weed- and pest-control experts. After the greenhouse crops are harvested, the chickens are put in the vegetable gardens so they can eat up unwanted leafstalks, seeds, and insects-with remarkable results. The chickens also perform a very useful function for the farm by raking and turning the soil with their feet.
當溫室菜圃收成後，他們會把雞群趕進菜園，讓雞吃菜梗、菜籽、小蟲，幾乎可以寸草不留，效果很好；而雞爪扒土時又翻動了土壤，幫農場出很多力；如此養大的雞，因活動力旺盛，肉質細緻，賣到市場也很受歡迎。
