In this short instructional video, the presenter demonstrates a simple, low‑effort system for raising about one hundred meat chickens on a homestead. The core of the setup is an 8 × 8‑foot "meat shaw" – a roofed enclosure mounted on wheels that can be moved daily. Inside the shaw the chickens are contained by a Premier One poultry net equipped with a shocker knot for predator protection. The system also includes two 5‑gallon water containers placed on either side of the net and two trough feeders for feed. The management routine is straightforward: relocate the shaw to a fresh spot each day and shift the net to a new position every three days, providing fresh ground and reducing disease risk. This approach offers a mobile, scalable solution for raising a large number of broilers with minimal daily labor.
