chickens in the garden

[Baxter's Chickens]

Can chickens kill a lawn? We let our chickens free range around the backyard, which results in chicken poop on the lawn.
The lawn looks terrible! There are several possible reasons, but I know that chicken poop is very strong, I was hoping that the lawn could take it. Any thoughts?

You can get some chicken wire and do rotational grazing so part of the lawn gets a chance to recover.

If the yard is small enough though, they will eventually eat every green living thing.

I kept expanding my chicken yard until I discovered a happy medium so that the grass can live.
