Have you ever heard that chicks are the gateway drug to farming?
At least, that's how it was for me.
When my dreams of farming were first developing, it seemed like the natural way to start-- A few chickens. You know, just enough to get a few eggs. Absolutely nothing crazy. Not like twenty-something chickens.
Oh, whoops. I suppose that's where we landed up, huh? Allow me to count the solutions and clarify exactly WHY we reached this point.
First things first-- Simon really loves his poultries because they are easy. They necessitate the basics: Food, water, shelter-- and these can be as practical or extravagant as you opt for them to be. We used a mobile shelter, which meets each of our needs-- a mesh flooring to ensure droppings may fall out, shelter from the elements, and manageable mobility for us to move it all around the pasture.
