Two north and two south yards, covering about a half acre, provide green food and allow seasonal rotation. When fowls use one set of yards, plow and sow the others to improve soil and forage. Plant clover in spring for fall and winter feed. sow rye or wheat and winter vetch in the south yards in fall. Feed them to grass when possible.
