Hi
I have a plan and would like to now if anyone has done anything like this, and appreciate some feed back.
Land 18 Acres in a square

To use 9 acres for raising free range chickens 400 per acre total 3600 birds. Other 9 acres for crops.
Than rotate, after one year to use other 9 acres for chickens and to use the 9 acres from last year for growing other crops,
To keep rotating every year between crops and chickens.

The land can be irrigated so we have water. weather 9 months 20 degrees Centigrade to 40 degrees Centigrade, 3 months 5 degrees to 15 degrees.
Land is Flat.
The alternative is every 6 months, but I guess trial and error, any way thoughts please.
If managed properly I think with some trial and error it may work, give or take a few birds, feel free with your thoughts,

Thanks
