How to make grass beds for chickens,
I am not sure how this will work out it is just something I have wanted to try for a very long time.

Materials:
Chafing Pans
Stucco wire or gutter screen
zip ties or tying wire
grass seed or sod
and your soil of choice (we used top soil and peat moss)
Optional - Use an under the bed container as a green house to stimulate the grass growth.

Tools:
Something sharp to poke holes (we used a GIG and leather man scissors)
Scissors or wire cutters (depends on if your using plastic or metal screen)
Small shovel or your hands

Basically what we are doing is taking a chaffing pan poking some holes in it and adding some peat moss and topsoil in then mixing in grass seed. Then we cover the top with some simple plastic or metal stucco wire or gutter screen and zip tying into place. Then we placed in an under the bed container that we flipped up-side down to make a small green house.

The idea behind this is to make a couple of them and rotate them with the chickens so when they eat one you can replace it with another while the other one grows back. The screen is to try to prevent them from killing the whole grass roots by keeping a buffer zone between the chickens and the grass.
