YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIs it better to let your laying hens roam free or keep them secure? The decision to "Range or Not to Range" is a massive tension in pastured egg production that impacts labor, land, and predator loss.
Joel Salatin shares his decades of experience, tracing his journey from early Eggmobiles to converted broiler shelters and finally to the effective use of electrified poultry netting (Millennium Feathernet).
Salatin breaks down the critical factors for choosing the right system: flock size, predator pressure, and pasture size. He explains why completely free-ranging is not recommended for farms under 50 acres due to nesting issues. Learn about controlled ranging and the hybrid approach for smaller properties to maximize pasture health while minimizing predation. Get the definitive guidance you need to secure your flock and increase egg production with Joel Salatin.
