It is true that the nursery takes a lot of our attention these days. But this land project encompasses so much more across its 60 acres. We are excited to have recently implemented a rotational grazing set up for our chickens!

In the past we always used large, permanent enclosures for poultry. This new system allows us to place our chickens anywhere we need fertilizer and/or where they can happily forage. The mobile coop and electric netting are very easy to move. We also installed a solar powered, automatic door on the coop which allows us to sleep in or stay out late!

So far, we are loving it. Of course there is a learning curve with anything. We just recently trimmed our hens' primary feathers to ensure they actually stay inside the netting.😅
