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.
