Hello guys,
My first batch of 50 broilers are going to be 21 days old on the following Tuesday and I want to let them out on pasture.
My land is on a literal mountain slope and I believe the landscape is too hilly and bumpy for a chicken tractor to work, yet I haven't tried so maybe that's incorrect.
Though I like the idea of meatshaw from Justin Rhodes better than chicken tractor so I'm building one right now.
One concern is that I do not have a guard goose or any other guard animals around yet. And I worry that aerial predators might get them.
We got lots of crows here and probably somewhat fortunately, crows are keeping other birds of prey at bay. But I heard that crows themself could kill a chick.
What's your experience with meatshaws? Is guard goose mandatory to protect chicks from aerial predators?
Wanna hear more from different voices! Thanks!
