Chicken Tip of the Day:
Implement a pasture rest and recovery schedule using a rotational grazing system. Regenerative farming emphasizes that dividing your pasture into multiple paddocks and rotating chickens every 5–7 days allows forage to regrow and prevents land degradation. Pair this with a 21–28 day recovery period per section for optimal regrowth. This approach not only maintains healthy forage but also reduces parasite load and supports long-term pasture sustainability.
Bonus Insight: Incorporate cover crops like clover or alfalfa during recovery periods to enhance soil fertility and forage quality.

Kombucha Day!
Fungus and Bacteria... yum
Ours is a monster. It just keeps making babies.
Actually, it is "yum" and we use it in moderation to keep us regular.
