Are the flats covered with wire to allow the shoots to grow through but keep the chickens from digging? If not, how are the flats kept/arranged in the pens?

He places them along the edges of his pens or wherever they'll get the most sunlight. When the greenery grows tall enough that it emerges from the wire and the chickens nibble on it, he removes the frames. All the greens are pretty quickly devoured.
