Chickens
We always have plenty of chickens here on the
farm....there's more info here....
We're currently home to a flock of about 150 hens and pullets, plus one noisy guinea hen and two handsome roosters. We are getting everyone out onto pasture this year, but taking our time as we work out all the kinks. So far so good as far as predation goes - the chicken tractor and electric fence have kept that flock quite safe, but we're struggling with getting production up to the level we see in the barn/barnyard flock. Next year we are going to try turkeys using the same system.
