Easy to Build, Inexpensive, Upcycled, Free Range Chicken Tractor

April 18, 2023 Brian Hurlburt 1 Comment

Our Free Range Chickens are moved daily and get to sample at a nice new Salad Bar daily! Thanks to our easy to build, inexpensive, upcycled, free range chicken tractor.

We do a lot of upcycling and this Chicken Tractor is made of 6 old Mink Cages and can house up to 54 Chickens. Although we usually only do about half that number, allowing them to have more space.

We move the Chicken Tractor daily, and we cover it with wires and tarps, that protects the birds from the elements and they are on pasture for about eight months out of the year. It’s a lot of work, but it really does make for happy chickens! 🐔🐔🐔

Happier chickens lay more eggs!

Collecting Eggs on Easter at Briden Farm

April 17, 2022 Brian Hurlburt No Comments

We usually post live Videos, “Chicken TV” Videos, on FaceBook and then share them here, and those are usually of our own Mixed Flock of mostly Easter Egger Orpington mix. However, today, on Easter 2022, I thought I’d do something different!

Today We have a Video of Collecting Eggs in our outside temporary shelter for the Brown Layers we sell. The ones in this Video are Bovan Browns, and a few Bovan Blacks like the one pictured above. Here’s the Video …

Our Temporary Shelter is made mostly of Upcycled Materials. Old Mink Cages for fencing and Breeding Boxes for Nesting! Most things we do here at Briden Farm involve some amount of Upcycling! We’re actually getting pretty good at it! If You’re interested in Upcycling, subscribe to our Upcycling List here, and if we get enough interest, we’ll do an on-site Upcycling Day here at Briden Farm.
