How To Raise Cornish Cross: Chicken Tractor vs Open Pasture
If you want to raise meat chickens, cornish cross are some of the most common and easy to raise. And raising chickens for meat is a great way to combat food shortages and a must have on homesteads. But what is the best way to raise chickens for meat? A Joel Salatin Style chicken tractor? Open pasture? Whatever system you choose, always make sure it allows for movement when raising meat chickens. Cornish Cross are typically thought not to be great foragers, but in my experience, they do just fine and can make great backyard chickens as well a popular choice for homesteads and farms.
In this video we explore both chicken tractors and raising meat chickens on open pasture and watch as I move a group to a new pasture spot to build biomass and regenerate pasture. This a a great system for homesteads to create food security in a world where food shortages are starting to make news headlines.
The design for this chicken tractor is in Joel Salatin's book "Polyface Designs" which you can buy here:
