I have long planters I built along the outside of the runs. I place the wire shelving at a 45 degree angle over the top of the planters. This way, they can eat the parts that stick out, but not eat it down to the dirt. Neither can they get their big dinosaur feet into it and dig it all up.
You could plant things in the coops for them to eat and protect them in a similar fashion. Use the shelving or other wire to encircle the plants' cores, and the chickens can eat whatever grows outside the wire.
The whole wide world is just a salad bowl to a chicken.
