I was just googling chicken tractors out of boredom and found a farm that raises pastured poultry in tractors. On their website they say they raise 50 chickens in an 8X10 tractor. I don't know about you, but 50 birds in an 8X10 tractor seems a bit pushing it. Since these are for meat products, I assume they are Cornish Cross or some other broiler breed.
Maybe I just need to hear it from other people. Can 50 birds live comfortable in a 10ftX8ft tractor?
Personally I never looked into the tractors myself because I thought to accomodate a "flock" they would have to be pretty big. Now I'm reconsidering!
