Granted everyone's situation on pasture will be a little different but so far I have found that the broilers and even laying hens are happiest when the grass is about at soulder height.

When the grass is this high they can easy reach any seeds or flowers to eat them, they can look around for danger, they can see where they are going, and there is enough grass to create a comfortable bed.

It also is a good height for moving the chicken tractors. The grass around the mobile housing creates a visual barrier which helps to keep your chickens in during a move while it is short enough where you are not battling the grass.
