Understand Free-Ranging Benefits & Containment

What happens here

Begin by appreciating the advantages of allowing chickens to free-range. The video highlights that chickens can forage in garden areas, eating old tomato seeds, trash, worms, and other pests, thus helping to clean up garden beds after the growing season and contributing to soil health. To keep chickens within designated areas, like garden beds or a larger free-range space, poultry netting is essential. The netting allows chickens to roam over a larger area, preventing them from accessing unwanted zones while keeping them safe.

Goal: The first step involves understanding the benefits of free-ranging chickens, such as natural pest control and garden bed preparation, and the necessity of containing them with poultry netting.
