Are fig trees fine to put in chicken coops?

Thanks everyone! It got planted today and the chickens were exploring it but they didn’t show much interest! We’ll see how it all goes!! I’m just a worrier about everything though!

Fig trees can get big, but they also provide a lot of shade. And their low, wide branches would end up roosting spots for the chickens. I wouldn't have any issue eating the figs, and it would get fertilized regularly, so would grow fast. But concentrated chicken poop might burn the roots of the fig and kill it. If you really don't want it there, emphasize that part. Chicken poop is very strong.
