After seeing so many horrible videos about large scale farms & how horribly the animals are treated & kept, this is a mood booster. Your animals get to feel grass under their feet, get sunlight & fresh air. I can also see that you care about their health & not being cruel, even if they will be feeder chickens. Thank you for being what a chicken farmer should be. 🧡

As a person who has journeyed from interested novice to self-informed farmer practitioner, to small scale commercial poultry and egg producer, I can tell you I wish I'd had this video to guide me years ago. Heifer has laid out the complete pastured poultry program without the self-aggrandizing or fear-based hype that accompanies so many other presenter's spiels. While I'll never reach the volume of birds raised and processed by Heifer, I know from first-hand knowledge and experience, that the processes and protocols explained here can be scaled to fit on almost any size plot of land. The goals of self-sufficiency, reduced dependence on factory farming, and supporting local food suppliers can all be achieved using the techniques demonstrated in this video. I applaud the working Heifer theology and am particularly happy to see this video gently spreading the unspoken words that food security and planetary sustainability are not mutually exclusive concepts.

Awesome! My father, Dan West, gave me the chicken house on our farm in Indiana and helped me to raise broilers for several summers to help with my college costs. I cleaned out our old chicken house, took grain from our silos, and have it ground into feed at our farm coop...and received 4 boxes of 80 chickies from Sears Roebuck. It was thrilling and awesome work for several summers.

As a new chicken farmer in Kenya - Africa, with only a starting number of 50 one month chicks, i look forward to growing to this kind of setup and well-outlined brooder and as your T-Shirt correctly says, The Future is Farmers.

When I moved to The Village, next door had a chicken coop and a dozen or so birds. Many mornings I'd open the front door to find them on my porch, waiting because I'd toss a handful of bird mealworms out for them. It was great to see them wandering around all day, diggling about in the soil and grass. When I'd come back in the car one in particular would come running over for an extra mealworm or two. Very intelligent birds, too. Shame they've gone.

The only things I wished you would have covered is the “after” look of the pasture after you have moved the schooner. And the bucketed food vs. the field consumption of the birds as they grow. Otherwise, truly impressed with your system, well done!!!

I have so many positive things to say about this young lady and the operation that her employer is running that I don't want to type them all because no one would read all of it. That said, farms and farming like this one make our lives so much nicer and they raise and treat their poultry so well. We can never repay the farmer what they are really worth to society. I have seen so many 'homesteader' videos telling me how inhumane commercial chickens are treated to justify their own homestead/farmer's market operations but this operation puts them to shame! Yes, I do know that there are some bad apples but I just wanted to thank this farm for all it does to further agriculture in the US and abroad and for all of the people that their ministry helps and to wish them the best of luck.

Just a quick point, apologies for my late response. I am also glad that this farm practices the production techniques that it does. We do something very similar, on a much, much smaller scale. I can assure you, Otis, that these types of practices are adopted by only a tiny proportion of the total production in North America. It is not a problem of a few “bad apples” as you pointed out. It is essentially the entire industry which has adopted astonishingly low standards in order to produce the cheapest possible birds, with little thought to the welfare of the poultry or environmental sustainability.
