If you are spraying the trees for them to flower and eventually bear fruit, the chemicals used for this purpose will not affect your birds.
But, if you are spraying insecticide/pesticide to protect the fruit, then precautionary measures should be taken. It is best to sectionalize your spraying. Before spraying one section, remove the birds in that particular area and turn the clay pots upside down. After an hour, you can put back the chickens in that area after inspecting if there are some dead insects that they can peck.
