The BEST Pastured Poultry System Out There - Truly Free Range

[chancevicino]

Beautiful videos. You're truly giving back to the little guy. Heck with your love for regeneration, your love for humanity is inspiring.

After I move my tractor through the pasture I sprinkle daikon radish and winter rye seeds into the Pelosi the chickens leave then emulsify the Pelosi and seeds and inject them into the ground with a needle jet on the garden hose. Works great

P.S. want to move chickens without any trouble? Get a big RC kid truck, fill it with maggots or any treat they love, just let them know, and drive the RC to where you want them to be. Pro tip, have some training wheels type of thing in it so they don't tip it, they will run fast. Quick and easy. There is another electrification of the feeder that will work wonders on having them move around but I will let you both figure that one out, wayyyy less work after it.

Diego Footer. I can't tell you how much I love your videos. I'm getting everything ready for my first no-till garden next spring and I'm learning a ton from your wonderful videos.

we do a chicken tractor and and a chicken run for our chickens. our chicken run was built to go over our garden box to have them till the boxes. perfect way to fertilize

Always so happy to see animals being treated well. Thank you

this is the correct way of handling pasture raised chickens. Many breeders keep the chickens in mobile coops where they eat the grass but they are stuck in the coop all the time this is not pasture raised this is pasture fed. Farmers who manage chickens in mobile chicken coops use the term pasture raised only to sell the most expensive eggs or meat are true charlatans. Pasture raised you leave the hens loose in the pasture all the time with the chicken coop open only closing it at night to protect against predators, they are free to go and come back to the henhouse when they want, they eat when they want and whatever they want this is the true way of pasture raised chikens.

So cool to see your farm as a suggestion in my playlist! I know you don’t know me, but I remember you from our sojourn days, many many moons ago, in Louisville! It’s great to see how things are growing and changing for you all. We just bought a house, and only have about 3/4 of an acre, but we are gonna start layers in the spring with EPN, and a chicshaw :) this is giving me some new things to think about though! So awesome!

4:43 great use of a crappy bed liner! Great interview Diego. Thank you

[vladimiralphonse]

Looks pretty cool, especially worth the open spaces.

I loved using the poultry netting to create a larger pen for our broilers, but it ended up not working for us because the owls began picking off birds at night, and it was too much work to corral them in a pen each night, so we went to the John Suscovich tractors. Keep up the great work, Luke, and thanks for the video, Diego! I've followed the podcast for a long time! Have a great 2018 season!

Good to know.... I like the idea of raising the birds this and fertilizing the soil.

6:51 what does he mean by there is a lot of labor by catching up the chickens we have some neighbors that help us out with that, what does he mean can someone please explain?

[arenosofarms]

im really thinking we will be raising chickens next year, using similar method- i like chicken tractors so far, but would like to persue more space and less tractor moving(daily isnt cost effective for my context). Good stuff, thank you Diego!

[StephenJelinek]

Basically what I do. However, I have 7 x 7 tents I move around. One flock has taken to roosting under my canoe. I brood them in a tent on pasture day one.

[TheSrphatness]

Fantastic video guys. This will really help me. I'm planning on starting my chicken enterprise this year. This is the exact same setup I'm trying to go with. My property has a LOT of hedge and juniper trees so on one hand I think that avoiding chicken tractors will allow me to better utilize the forage and decent amount of shelter provided by said trees. What I do wonder about is, will the trees allow a vantage point for hawks? Will a goose with the chickens help protect from hawks?

How are these chickens not flying over the fencing? Our fly over 6 feet fencing. DO you clip their wings?

[b_a_c_k_s_t_a_y]

Dogs are the answer to predators, even the hawks. We use Kangals, and they are right in with the chickens.

Inspiring to see you putting so much thought and love into raising these chickens. I have no land to keep chickens but im interested in their welfare. Iv noticed when i buy free range eggs on some packs its stated that the chickens have been vaccinated against salmonella, do you know if this is standard practice for all free range eggs, do i need to switch to organic ? Im in UK
