Your goat and ram are ruminants? Right? If you are not going to
rotate(MIG), I would highly recommend sticking with ladino clover and
kentucky bluegrass. Close to pure ladino for the chickens. They would be
best capable of taking set stocking.

The electric netting is pretty neat way of rotating chickens.
Best wishes,
Greg
