  • There is a lot of confusion about what a 'chicken tractor' really is- a drag pen sized to fit between the rows of a garden. The chickens then eat the weeds & bugs, and cultivate the soil suface, hence the name 'checken tractor'. Polyface winters laying hens in hoop houses, under rabbit cages. Hybrid broilers (naturally mated crosses between chickens selected for efficent growth & large breats) finish in 8-12 weeks, shown being raised here in pasture pens, only spring-fall at Polyface.

  • the kid was hilarious

  • pastured poltery is done on a seasonal basis.

  • With these chicken tractors how do you keep the water from freezing in the winter?
