My great grandmother had this HUGE fig tree in her chicken yard. She died in 1979, so I can not ask her why it was there, but I am going to guess that it was there for a reason.

Do chickens like figs? I am going to guess that my great grandmother planted the fig tree in the chicken yard so the chickens could eat the fallen figs.

The chicken poop may have acted as a natural fertilizer for the tree.

So in a way, the tree might have recycled the chickens own poop in the way of a fruit.
 
Chickens adore figs. I have some figs in the freezer from last year I never got around to putting up, & I've been putting them out there & they have been going crazy over them.
 
The first thing my rooster does when I let him out of the coop in the morning is check the around the fig tree; which is close to the coop.
He doesn't understand that this year's figs aren't ripe yet. He keeps hoping and hoping....
