my experience with the chicken tractors i have was that it takes a good 3 weeks for grass to grow back in an area where the tractors sat for more than 3 days. it would grow back in about 10 days if the tractor was only in one spot for a day. i think the difference is whether the hens simply nip the tops off the plants, or if they really start scratching things up and eating most of the plants. in my experience, a run which has already lost it's greenbelt won't recover in just a few days.
i'll get photos of the chunnel and the "hen frame" (like a cold-frame, but this one protects plants against hens instead of the cold) this weekend. i had to put one of my dogs to sleep today (the one in the avatar) and just don't feel like doing much.
