Sounds like you need to fix a chicken tractor for them. (This is a cage on wheels which you can move around however often or even daily if you want to so the grass won't die completely under the chicken pen.) Kabuldur has one and can probably describe them far better than I can. Do be sure to string some fishing line across the top of whatever sort of pen you build to keep the hawks and owls out. Do you live in an area that has kudzu in it? My mom's chickens dearly loved the stuff and would eat it by the armload. It's a high protein veggie. :)
