I have been in love with the idea of Egg-Mobiles ever since I first saw a YouTube video of Joel Salatin's laying hen setup on Polyface Farm. I just discovered five acres of nice level but overgrazed pasture that is available on a reasonable rent-to-own option.
I am trying to crunch the numbers in my head and figure out if a plan that I'm incubating is feasible.
Has anyone here used the eggmobile pastured poultry model with their flock? If so, please tell me about it! How much did you spend on building your eggmobile? How many hens does it house? How often do you move it? How much space do you net off for daily foraging? What is your approximate feed input and cost? What breeds perform well for you using this model? Any details and pictures you can share would be awesome and greatly appreciated!
