I noticed my 7 chickens were keeping our weeds completely under control in our 6,000 sq/ft non-landscaped yard.  I decided to try something.  I penned my chickens in an area where they hadn't been yet and setup a camera to take a picture every 15 minutes.  Below are the results of putting 7 hens in a 12 x 12 area for about 5 hours.

Check out this very short time lapse video of the chickens doing their work on the weeds:  WMV 300kb video
