I really like this idea of Pastured
Poultry Paddocks.
I agree with your assessments of the
other methods of raising Chickens too.
I'm don't have any Chickens yet but, now
that I know about the Pastured Poultry
Paddocks method, I'm trying to figure
how to apply it in my Suburban
environment. I can't use the front yard
or one side of my yard. Only the back
and one side.
My Grandmother had over 400 Chickens.
She supplemented her income with them.
I remember back then (1960s and 70s) her
"Chicken/Hen Houses" and the "Chicken
yards" were all dirt. Even the Orchard.
I wish she new about and used this
system back then.
