Only some chicken loves grass and weed. If you want to raise chicken for good forager, you need to buy the right chicken. Ask the seller which chicken breed that is good as good forager. For example, Buckeye is one of he good forager. It is also large class chicken from America that can provide white meat and fresh eggs. Beside buckeye you can consider Holland, Dominique, Java, Weisumer, Minorca, Blue Andalusian, Dorking and others. The chicken that comes from your yard must be safer than the chicken from farm because the food is grass or grain. You will not use the medicine or vaccine for he chicken too.
