I planted a 20'x200' strip of red clover/white clover/annual rye next to my coop early in fall, every day or two I give the birds a bucket of those greens. One of the few mixes that will grow some during winter here. When I get really ambitious I get the push mower out and cut until the bag is full, that really fills them up. (they also get a bags of grass/clover clippings during the summer). It's not enough to cover their feed needs, but helps and gets them something green. Warmer months are easy, always plenty for them.
Been giving them plenty of meat during these cold months, too. At least once a week, sometimes twice, I cook a pack of old ground venison for them (helps when you shoot enough deer you can't eat them all in one year
). They've been getting a lot of fowl, too. Duck season just ended, many of the smaller divers like buffleheads, ruddies, goldeneyes, etc aren't that tasty, but I cook and chop them up for the chickens and they love them.
I may have to plant an acre of kale this year, sound like a good crop for them.
