Yes, take their feed away, save it for late afternoon. Give them some scratch to work for just outside the entrance to their coop, or under their outdoor shelter.

It is mostly pasture. and the clovers, grass, weeds, and flowers are very plentiful and growing quick. Already had to mow the lawn around my house once, and that was after it got tall enough that I really couldn't justify further delay. I have previously tried to lead them to a small wooded area on the backside of the barn but they don't seem to like to venture that far. my main outlay obstacle is that the barn is a cinder block 8 stall horse barn and the back stalls, which are on the wooded side, do not lead outside. I guess maybe I need to find a way to get them some cover on the front end of the barn........ would reducing their feed a little have a good chance of increasing their will to forage and what should I keep an eye out for to ensure that I am not depriving them of too much feed?
I think they are already feeding in the evening.Yes, take their feed away, save it for late afternoon. Give them some scratch to work for just outside the entrance to their coop, or under their outdoor shelter.
