Have you ever wondered what it takes to raise pasture raised chickens? @farmer.froberg has been doing it for years on a pretty large scale and helps break down the logistics. Broiler chickens only need three things: fresh water, quality feed, and protection from the elements and predators. By incorporating all three into a single mobile structure, you create an efficient system that can be moved across pasture as needed. How often you move it depends on your stocking rate, forage conditions, and weather. The goal is simple: give the birds access to fresh ground while distributing their manure evenly across the pasture. There isn’t an exact formula for when to move a chicken tractor. It’s less of a science and more of an art form, learning to read the birds, the grass, and the land, then adjusting as conditions change. All-in, Tyler spends less than 10 hours a week raising over a thousand meat chickens. #broilers #pastureraised #meat #farm #shilohfarm
