Pastured poultry, how it can work for you to raise your own food!

What happens here

The speaker demonstrates the daily routine of managing the mobile chicken coop. This involves first removing the waterer and feeder from inside the coop. This clears the path for easier movement of the coop and encourages the birds to forage once the coop is relocated.

Tools and materials

  • Chicken Feeder
  • Chicken Waterer
  • 24% Meat Bird Feed

What they say

So the birds are a little bit ran bunches right now because they're out of water, we're going to get them moved, I'll show you exactly what we do. Watch out, first thing we do, take our water out, you see them following me. Alright, next we'll take our feeder out and use the 24% meat bird feed, and now we'll take our PVC mobile coop and we'll move it very, very simply, I just grabbed the handle with one hand and pull it over here, pretty cool, come on birdies, pretty birdies, birdie birds, what are you doing? I got you, I got you, it's funny how each chicken has its own personality, this guy's a little skittish. So basically at this point, the birds are probably eating about 15 pounds of food per day, so I kind of judge that on how much food I put in the feeder, so they're easier to move on pasture here. We're basically moving this coop right here around to different squares of pasture, or right now I'm pretty much our front yard.
