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

Free Range Pastured Chickens & Rabbits

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!

Bunny Moving Days at Briden Farm

Valley our Lion Head Easter Bunny

It’s that time of year when our Bunny’s get moved out to pasture. They’ll still be in cages, it helps insure their safety and also keeps them from running away or fighting with each other! Rabbits have just as much a pecking order as chickens! Perhaps worse! It also means that they’ll get a fresh salad bar every day because we move their cages every day till late Fall. This helps them get a more rounded diet, and also helps provide an incredible meat, more similar to wild rabbit. It’s also this time of year we begin our breeding program and that means that we should be expecting baby bunnies sometime around mid May, and should hopefully have some baby bunnies for sale by mid July.
