Fleas haven't been an issue here since i started keeping chickens. I only have 3 chickens right now, but still no fleas. This is the first year where ticks have been a nuisance, maybe 4-5 ticks a week on the animals that go outside. I usually also have guineafowl, but the local wildlife loves eating guineas, and they're 3x more expensive than chickens, so it's hard to keep throwing money at that problem. Guineas are much more effective at killing snakes and ticks than chickens, though, in my experience.
