However I have no idea how much chickens use their sense of smell or if new smells would alarm them.
Thanks, Y'all!

This!!! More than anything, I think chickens are insectivores. Yes, they love it when I bring them fresh greens and they like hunting for grain, but if you've got a situation that would allow you to grow insects like Black Soldier Fly larvae or similar, your chickens will notice! I suspect the "chicken compost systems" are mostly "bug attracting and growing" systems if you look deeply at what's happening. I've been amazed to see 2 day-old meat chicks jumping to try to catch a flying bug in our brooder, so I think catching bugs is a strong motivator.Anne Miller wrote: Pick bugs off your plants into a pail of water to be given to the chickens when you think they are getting bored.
