Chickens for brush clearing

I use two lengths of Premier 1 electric poultry netting, which is 164' around and I have about 35 chickens
Edit: I just rotate/move them once the area is cleared to my liking.
With a coop, or were they just out in the open? I guess if your chickens are hopping 20 miles through the snow, a coop would be an unnecessary luxury. Chickens are so spoiled these days. Back in my day, chickens roosted in a rolled up newspaper and the only feed they got was a stale crust of bread and some gravel.
 
I have several acres of poison oak, thorny brambles, and dense thicket. I know a lot of people use goats for clearing brush, but I don't really want goats.

So... Chickens are good at killing established plants. Has anyone used a movable fence for chicken-brush-clearing? I'm not sure I can even get a fence in, due to all the thick brush.
What about leasing or borrowing some goats to do the job?
