On your video – Organic Farming – Pastured Poultry, How to – you said that
you feed 175 chickens about 1 bag of feed Dailey but you didn’t say how big
of a bag it was. If you could let us know I would après ate it thanks.
its scary to think how we try and destroy the future generation by using
growth promoters in poultry to fulfill our greedy wants
Hey man I am in the process of setting one of these up right now. If you
can find an old trampoline frame just cover it with chicken wire and cover
1/3 of it with a roof to shelter the birds. this is still light enough to
drag. God bless.
did he say you can buy those pens in kit form?
You took those words out of my mouth! This is not much different from mass
production only that they have a bit more space but no roaming space.
Actually is it hugely different. You need to actually walk into one of
those commercial “warehouses” and then you’ll know right off the
difference.There is no comparison.
Can I assume these birds are raised solely for their meat, not egg
production? I also assume because they are moved every day, they are less
likely to consumed their excrement? Is it possible to get talller coops? So
they can move more freely?
who do you sell them to
We’ve had our own successes (and failures) with the pastured poultry here
in AB, Canada Tricky climate with extreme temperature changes (flooding and
+10C one week and then +40 heatwave the next week). Also came across
high-sodium water and feed that was unadapted and so lost a lot of chickens
that way. If you’re in the prairies and would like to hear more about it:

HOW CAN SOMEONE GET INTO THIS PASTURED POULTRY I AM VERY INTERESTED ALSO IS
IT WORTH IT
Where did Mr Staham get the pen kits?
nice
I don’t want to eat anything eating high doses of thier own poop like he
said!
Love the wheel lever i’m totally doing that on my next pen, great video!
then u go on,…”With time they grow larger and become less and less
active”…which again is exactly my point since i will pay “free range”,i d
rather give my money for what i chose 2eat>aka freely roaming active-(not
lethargic )healthy chicks that eat a wide variery of grasses
,bugs,+whatever food they choose./suplemented since not enough finally ..as
they got used to inactivity,if free they d get used to activity which is
their natural instinct so did u disagree 4the sake of disagreing?
I have the vision of setting up one, but don’t have the knowledge on how
to.Please,can I get some help from on how to set up one ?.Here is my email
godchildof30@yahoo.com, thanks and God bless.
Easiy and Organically Take Care of 100 Chicks. *Feeds them cracked cereal
Very
grains, soybean mill, with few mineral supplements *NO antiobiotcs or
growth hormones. *Videos addresses how traditionally cooped poultry eat
their own fecies and that’s what consumers are consuming.
informative video loaded with detailed info. God Bless for sharing and
teaching others how to make this world a better place.
A great system, and a well done video. Thanks. The feeders from PVC pipe
may be a concern. Like all plastics, it is toxic to produce, and like many,
it leaches and/or out gasses toxins for the tlife of the material. Still, a
much improved system over ‘industrial’ poultry production. .
Did anyone find out where he buys the “kits” for these chicken tractors?
So where can someone get the pen kits that he is talking about?
how big are the cages and how long does it take before you can safly put
the chicken on the same pasture so there not eating there on poop? this is
for the 100chicken count per pen.
great job I want to start a chicken poultry farm in Somalia and was looking
more information….
Bravo!
Well, comparing those lethargic broilers to laying hens is simply stupid.
They are moved to those pens with about 2-3 weeks, when they are still
comperatively small. With time they grow larger and become less and less
active. So it doesn’t matter if they are kept in the pens you see in the
video or if they were free to roam the whole pasture. they simply wouldn’t
move an inch more. Your remarks about the food is also invalid, because
those broilers simply couldn’t exist without feeding.
