Pastured Poultry in Drylands



These hens have been getting moved on our native drylands pasture at least twice a day ,,,,sometimes four or five!
Hens on a diet of leafy greens, sprouted wheat berries and barley, and organic scratch, no soy whatsoever. 



These three hen tractors can on a good day produce three eggs each!
