I'd X2 the post about planting "forage blends" and clover. White dutch clover is my favorite since it seems to be hardest to kill. Go for a "meadow" effect instead of a golf course. You can still mow it, but it will be a mix of things and not a uniform lawn. But it survives chickens better...

You can also build 2x4 frames (think window casing but as big as you like) and attach 1/2" chicken wire, then lay on the ground. Allows the chicken to peck at the taller pieces as they grow without scratching up the new roots. Works well if you have fence jumpers and don't like to clip wings.
