Pastured Poultry
The "chicken tractor" is a central to pastured poultry systems. The chicken tractor is a portable pen designed to be moved to a new patch of pasture every day. The chickens eat bugs and fresh grass as they add manure to the ground under the pen, and are protected from predators by the cage. Manitoba Agriculture offers fact sheets and useful links for managing small flocks.
