Why not let the chickens into the potato fields to do the work themselves?

I'm guessing they would eat the crops as well
Not with potatoes at least. The leaves of nightshades are bitter and toxic even to birds.
Chickens scratch the ground to find food so once they’re done eating the bugs on the crops, they’ll tear up the plant beds looking for more.
