Does moving the mobile hen house twice a week instead of once improve vegetation cover on the pasture?

Four plots of equal size, with an equal number of birds per plot. Two plots moved once a week (control), two moved twice a week.

Vegetation cover estimated with the quadrat method, at five points per plot, every two weeks. Measurement starts on the day the birds are placed out.
