Hmm, don't know. I don't think the chickens would hurt mature asparagus
fronds as long as they weren't there too long. However, I am not
conversant enough with the lifecycle of asparagus beetles to know
whether it would be a good time for controlling them. I'm guessing the
chickens are scratching up and eating pupae, but don't really know. No
research data, just observation.

Alison,
Do you think you could do it earlier in the fall or even summer, without
harming the asparagus?
