You should. But...only get females.
I made the wrong decision to start breeding some nice coloured ones and I literally have hundreds of babies now.
I've already given a whole load away but they just keep coming.
Don't get me wrong though, they're the best fish I've ever kept(I've had lots).

... Would the chickens like the extras as treats?

Well...yes!
I guess I could dispose of them in a recyclable manner.

My question was. How do I get rid of all my baby guppies, Or prevent them!?
I think @Sapphire Sebright answered it.

You could separate the males and females. That’s what I do. I have recently had a situation where one male was harassing another, but I put a third male in that tank and the harassment stopped.

Yeh I could do except my other tank holds silver dollars which I'm selling, including the tank. They will possibly injure the guppies. I have a feeling that it's actually an endler male which is breeding the females.
My breeding male jumped the tank in the night a few months ago and I've had numerous babies since. I'm considering getting rid of all the males.
