This is a wonderful idea! You can grow her some ornamental kale. I don't know how quick it'll grow, but it looks pretty and the chickens will love it too. Also spinach. Fairly fast grower and you get different types and colours.

Anybody else got ideas??

Ours are crazy for parsley and swiss chard. They also go wild for dandelion leaves, but...prolly wouldn't want to "plant" those, LOL Clover is excellent but doesn't need to go in a garden...just any old patch will do for it.

Any of the leaf lettuces. Black Seeded Simpson is very fast growing & attractive.

Fast growing that they love? Mine like radish tops, and any type of "green" just about. Chard is a favorite but it's not as fast growing as turnips, radish, and mustard greens. I don't grow any of those for myself since I dont' like them but for the chickens, they're great.

How about a Pakistan Mulberry or Fig Tree?

They love the shade, dropped fruit, it's a quick grower and they can't destroy it.
