Backyard chicken yard design and care guidance
U S Department of Agriculture poultry specialists advise enclosing the yard with a 6 foot high wire fence to prevent hens straying into neighbors' yards and gardens. If needed, top wire coverage or flight-feather clipping may be used. larger yards improve exercise and sod growth. Green crops like oats and rye should be sown thickly in two separated yards, with frame enclosures or movable frames to keep greens regrowing. Regular yard cultivation reduces odors and aids droppings absorption, while occasional supervised range on lawns or gardens benefits the hens.
