I like to have 2-4 free ranging hens in with my dairy goats.  I think it does moderate flies (but not eliminate).  The main issues are keeping them from roosting or setting in the manger (accomplished by building a cover for the hay) and finding where they are laying.  I clip wings if they tend to want to roam.
