I don't like to let the chickens go down to bare dirt. I prefer the method of letting them eat the grass and clover (and bugs), and move them along so the pasture can recover. The dieback of the pasture plants, and regrowth does more to add life than digging it up and killing, then trying to reseed (so I have heard from lecturers at AcresUSA)...
