I have chickens in a small pasture at my house. I found that they eat the
grass and leave the weeds (hoary cress, morning glory, and other greens the
chickens hate), so that I end up w/ a field of weeds instead of grass. I’m
not using a chicken tractor, but rather just letting them roam around free.

grass growing there, instead of weeds?
