After three weeks, chicks graduate to mobile housing that doubles as a garden tool. A chicken tractor works for 3-4 hens and tills soil while they live in it. Movable coops cut cleaning work and let you plant directly over where they've added compost.
As you get your chicks and you get started into chickens, what are they going to graduate into at that 3-week time? A chicken tractor is great for 3 to 4 hens full-time in the chicken tractor, no fence required. Move them around the yard, put them in an area you want to garden, have them till for a garden, put them on top of a raised bed. We put our chickens over this, they tilled in the COVID crop, then we added some compost from, from— I call it the compost corner, the chicken run— and then we planted these plants. So that's a chicken tractor option. You could put them in a Chickshaw. This is the pretty Shaw, so it looks, it looks pretty. It's good enough for the front yard. You might as well call it a She Shaw, cuz she's going to really like it. We could put them in a deep run system, of course, with a, a mobile chicken coop. A pet peeve of mine: cleaning out manure. Early on when I tried to find a coop, the coops are expensive, they require cleaning out the manure, and they don't move. All my coops move, You do not have to clean out manure. Sometimes there gets some hay on the floor and sure, you have to clean out some manure. You're going to either move people or you're either going to put them still.
If I had to start my Homestead all over again, it could only pick one animal…
