Chickens as composters

[comp6512]

I have a crazy idea: can I put spent plants from my garden into the chicken coop, on the floor, for them to compost it?

I have deep litter on the floor, wood shavings. But because I don't spend enough effort to maintain compost pile properly, thought chickens
might help me a bit. Yes? No?

I give my chickens many plants from my garden especially the weeds.
I don't put things in the coop, but outside. But I suppose if it is something you're sure they will eat, it seems like a good idea.
Seems like it could get pretty messy with decaying plant matter sitting around, maybe even stinky.
