Yeah, my first thought was damping off. And the chickens may be in
there because of grubs/cutworms, something like that.

Don't give up. Plant something bomb-proof. I have a great crop of
vetch, as a covercrop, to help my soil. Get your soil tested and be
sure there's a good balance of nutrients, and not too much of anything.
What's the pH?

And I'm wondering where you are still...Victoria, is that British
Columbia, or Australia, or...?


Oz. It's autumn. That's why I suggested peas.
