I'm sure they'll appreciate it. Yesterday we removed one of the wire covered frames and within minutes it was back to dirt. Starting another one!

What plants do you give them? There's a jasmine vine up one side of their run that they pick at. Seems that is safe for them. We will try seeding some areas. A while back we were down to one hen and the run got quite overgrown. I found a load of eggs in there when I cleared it
Our chickens are fed as much pelletized food as they want. We then periodically give them Scratch (barley, oats & corn). We also try to give them fresh greens from the garden everyday (summer/fall).
What we do under the wire frames is spread the scratch out and let it grow. Once it is a fair size, we remove the frame and let them enjoy it.
