    Are fig trees fine to put in chicken coops?

    I have some on the south side of my house..They outgrow the space every year no matter how much I trim them Their cut branches make good perches but they are very bushy and fast growing. My miniature rooster got out and hid in the brambles. We tried to hack them down to catch him.to no avail...
