How to Build a Salad Bar for Chickens (That Actually Works)

 

I’ve tried every version of a chicken salad bar — frames on the ground, big covered runs, you name it. Most got buried or pooped out. This time I finally landed on a system that works: seven small cold frames, one opened each day, reseeded nightly. It gives my flock fresh greens like oats, legumes, and forage mix on rotation, without getting destroyed. Here’s how I built it, how the rotation works, and why it lasts.
