Here's a healthy forage blend, if you want more than grass:

To protect grass, I would make a frame of 2x4s on edge, then put hardware cloth over the top. It not only protects the roots, it protects several inches of the leaves. The chickens only eat the tips, so the plant keeps growing. If grass is grazed down to the roots, it will eventually die.
