    This is getting a bit silly, surely? Everyone knows dwarves prefer brown sauce on their rats. And inabun, not onastick.

    I must admit I've never had a problem with chickens not being able to destroy absolutely anything they wanted to eat.

    Heh, in my small flock I have three bantams, one of which is only about the size of a pigeon. All three have less "peck power" than my full size chickens. The smallest one can't even open a monkey nut bless her - although she is quite capable of mugging the other chickens once they have managed it :).

    Also, my family has a restaurant, so I occasionally get given big bags of hard vegetable stems that my dad has chopped up for me and can't use in dishes. My chickens eat them so it's a good use of waste food.

    The best bit of advice given to the OP so far is start off small. In fact, its the best advice that all new gardeners could receive.
    Freedom is the freedom to say that 2+2 = 4 (George Orwell, 1984).

    (I desire) ‘a great production that will supply all, and more than all the people can consume’,

    (Sylvia Pankhurst).
