Utilize Chicken Tractors for Soil Enrichment

garage building here to check on the baby chicks so inside the brooder right here we have our baby chicks these are 100 white leghorn laying hens and 35 Cornish cross meat birds and you'll see us processing the meat birds in a very soon future video so we've got the light turned off these chicks are old enough and I'm doing what's called hardening them off we'll go ahead and plug in this light real quick so we have a little fluorescent light in here we don't have heat we're not providing the chicks with supplemental heat right now they're Feathering out and pretty soon these birds will be ready to move outside to our eggmobiles which will be traveling throughout the farm right here so these are chicks that's their water that's their feed and we just basically start our baby chicks off on Kickstarter uh it was down to 40 something degrees last night all the chicks are doing well and what we're doing is called hardening them off which means acclimating them to cooler weather so that they can come outside and start foraging out on this grass sooner rather than later now our baby birds our chickens all move throughout the farm just like the cows and you don't need a large piece of land to do chickens okay guys so this is the front yard here on the Stoney Ridge Farm and you can see the grass is absolutely awesome super luscious grass everything looks fantastic this has not been fertilized this is only the result of our baby chicks now we can't move our meat birds with our chicken tractor and we'll show you a little clip of that chicken tractor it's a PVC chicken tractor design that I came up with we don't move it out on the Tall Grass pasture we move it in the short grass right here and with those baby chickens
