How to get started raising chickens on pasture!

What happens here

The Cornish Cross chicks, which are bred for meat production, will remain in the mobile tractor for approximately 6-8 weeks until they reach processing size. The smaller White Leghorn chicks, intended as laying hens, will eventually be moved to a separate, larger mobile coop. This future coop will follow grazing cattle, allowing the hens to scratch through and consume insects and larvae in the cow manure, which further aids in natural pest control and soil enrichment. This integrated system allows for the production of both farm-fresh poultry and 'grass-fed' eggs, with the added benefit of using chicken manure as a natural fertilizer across the farm.

Goal: The presenter outlines the different purposes for the chicken breeds being raised: meat production and egg laying, and how each contributes to farm sustainability.
