A US regional term for a chicken run — the enclosed outdoor space where backyard chickens scratch around, peck at the ground, and generally do chicken things. Simple, descriptive, and completely self-evident in meaning. While most people say 'chicken coop' or 'chicken run,' 'chickenyard' treats the space more like a yard — suggesting a larger, freer area where birds can roam. Common in rural American speech, especially in the South.
