Chickens
We raise our chickens each summer in portable chicken pens that we move onto fresh grass daily. This helps augment and diversify their diet of non-GMO feed with fresh greens and bugs to eat each day. It also helps us provide them with a better quality of life, with fresh air and plenty of sunshine. Additionally, this puts their valuable manure to work immediately, enriching our pastures in the following ways:
Promoting healthy foliage
Balancing soil pH levels
Improving soil structure
Increasing soil retention and microbial activity
Supporting beneficial soil organisms
Seen below is the visual impact of chicken manure. The darker green tracks are where the chicken tractor had been placed.
