I would worry more about plants being torn up from the chickens scratching.
Must share my experience :
I cultivated two zones inside the fenced-in, aviary-net-covered chicken run area with wild flowers to add to a fun scenery for our chickens in spring. I closed these two zones with chicken wire after we sprinkled the wildflower seeds.
By mid summer, the flowers were blooming and quite beautiful, bees love them! So, I thought, time to give chickens access. I opened up the smaller zone, and they were just curiously checking out on the first day. So, I left it open. The next morning, they completely flattened the ENTIRE zone in two hours !! Nothing left standing.
Needless to say, I never opened up the other zone. Naughty chickens!
