A total of 200\u2010day\u2010old unsexed Marshall Broiler chicks were weighed and assigned randomly into five experimental groups, viz. deep litter without access to run (DL), deep litter with access to\n                    <jats:italic>Stylosanthes hamata<\/jats:italic>\n                    (SH),\n                    <jats:italic>Stylosanthes guanensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    (SG),\n                    <jats:italic>Mucuna pruriens<\/jats:italic>\n                    (MP) and free run (FR) during dry season. Each treatment had 4 replicates of 10 birds. Data were collected on growth performance, behaviour, tonic immobility (TI), gait score and blood parameters. The data obtained were subjected to One\u2010Way Analysis of Variance in a Completely Randomized Design. Results showed that the final body weight of birds in SH was significantly higher (\n                    <jats:italic>p\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u02c2\u00a0.05) than those of SH, MP, FR and DL which were comparable. The feed intake of the birds of DL, SH and FR was higher than those of the other treatment groups. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) of the birds on legume pastures was lower than those without access to pasture. The birds of SH, SG and MP spent higher (\n                    <jats:italic>p\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u02c2\u00a0.05) time drinking, preening, dust\u2010bathing, spot pecking and walking standing behaviours while those in DL and FR spent more (\n                    <jats:italic>p\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u02c2\u00a0.05) time feeding. Generally, the gait score of the birds on the different legume pastures was similar but better than those without access to pasture. Tonic immobility of the DL birds was longer than that of FR whose duration was longer than those of the birds on the pastures.
