green manure and chickens

Chicken tractors moving over a green manure of small grains and daikon radish.  The short duration impact (12 - 24 hours) means the plants recover quickly and we get a second pass.  When winter really sets in, the radish and oats will die, but the wheat keeps going even under the snow, and will require heavy grazing to eradicate it in spring.
