    Tractor Alternatives

    Hey folks, first time here. My family and I got started on our first flock of 16 birds this spring and I’ve had the idea of meat birds ever since. I have them fenced in a 120x85 ft run with about half thick trees/forest and the other half open “pasture” with an enclosed 4x8 coop. The run is...
