Do you know what these chicken shelters are for? Pasture raising poultry is a sustainable and arduous way to maintain chicken and pasture wellness. These little houses pictured below are portable chicken shelters; they’re made up of side walls, a roof, and no floor. This provides the perfect space for chickens to find shade while searching for grubs on pasture.
These shelters also keep poultry searching for food in one specific area of pasture, since chickens don’t respond well to corralling. This is especially important when chickens on pasture sustainably because it helps to maintain the health of the pasture. When chickens are allowed to graze without taking into account the health of the pasture, it can lead to trampled patches of land.
Our farmers control where the poultry grazes, strategically moving the flock around on a daily basis to ensure their pastures naturally recuperate. Moving spots daily is also good for the poultry as they are provided with fresh pasture and constantly soft, fresh bedding.
All of our chicken farmers have unique shelter designs, but they’re all made with the same things in mind: fresh air, shade, and comfort. Their pastured chickens roam freely on pasture and are guaranteed a fresh new patch of grass every day. This daily routine may be hard work for our partners, but they value the benefits it offers for both the flock and environment.
