Pastured Broilers Session 10: Pasture Nuances

Want to maximize your pastured chicken performance and health?

In this session, renowned farmer Joel Salatin drills down into the critical nuances of effective chicken pasture management. Learn why the length of your grass is crucial for ingestion, predator defense, and cleanliness, and how proper chore logistics and water hygiene make a big difference to your flock's health and performance.

Key Takeaways from Session 10 - Pasture Nuances:

- Chickens require short grass, ideally 1–3 inches, for proper mastication and to maximize their forage intake.

- Grazing the pasture with herbivores (like cows or sheep) is the ideal way to prepare the short grass “table” for the chickens.

Short grass is critical for predator defense, as it creates an unfriendly habitat for low-waddly predators such as skunks and raccoons.

- When selecting pasture location, always choose terrain with decent drainage and stay out of flood zones.

- Use different colored buckets for dipping and carrying water to ensure sanitary water and prevent the spread of contamination.
