permaculture

[<dwoodard@becon.org>]

If you want to plant hard seeds of fleshy berries, such that the 
chickens are not very interested in the seeds and have plenty to eat, it 
might work OK. I wonder about soft seeds like Amelanchier. Berries need 
to be plentiful and cheap.

It strikes me as a technique for a small niche.
