Turkeys and chickens raised on pasture are so much better than ones raised in large operations. They get to enjoy all the benefits of pasture on their health and have a much better nutrient composition.

On a small homestead, you can't have downtime, so it's important to ensure that you're always using the infrastructure you've spent time building continuously. In this video, we show you how we put week old chicks in tractors during the day to get them all the great benefits of pasture as early as possible!

In this video, we made brooders for our chicks but were missing almost half of what we were expecting.
