Permaculture Orchard Tour Part 1: The Poultry Run

Join me on a brief tour of the fruit trees in our poultry run and why chickens should be free-ranging in an orchard, not a pasture.

Love the way you have your chicken and ducks run around your orchard. 💖

Hi there! I was wondering if you could make a more in-depth video about plants that do well in your poultry run. Or, how to protect certain plants in your run from the poultry. I want to have a similar setup, and put fruit tree guilds in my chicken run. In just not sure exactly what kinds of plants to put in the guild that will either survive the chicken and duck pecking, or that will be easy to protect from the poultry. Also, with having manure from the chickens breaking down at the base of the trees, do you find that you don't need the guild so much, because the chicken manure produces the nitrogen? Sorry for all the questions! Your channel is AMAZING! I'm learning so much, and I'm so thankful for what you are doing! You are an inspiration!

Can you show how close you grow your fruit trees? What is your typical spacing? Thanks ❤️

I live on 38 mostly trees acres and my chickens hang out just outside the tree line and bask in the shade of a tractor. Haha.

i loved the way you talk with the chickens and ducks! i have a tecnical question about the "duck pond" (the bath-tube)... do you have a way out of it? in order not to waste the nutrients, or in order to avoid flooding when the rain from the roof is too much... i thought that was cool! actually all your poultry run is cool 👍

[@allysonvollmer7223]

Hello Angela :) I’m assuming that the posts you put in for the chicken fencing, do not have concrete bases ? i’m near south Alaska and we get RAIN even in summer. Concrete just seems gross and would like to avoid if possible

[@daniellebradley2728]

So with this number of trees at the sizes you have, what would you guess your yearly fruit harvest is? ( pounds, bushels, servings, whatever) I have 8 fruit trees so far on my 1/3 acre and I have plans for more for variety and creating guilds around each tree, but I am looking for some data on yields in a close permaculture setting so I'll know when enough is enough! I have a lot of square footage in in raised annual beds and I know in the short term they are more productive, but long term I know that perennial food forest should out preform them.

i was going to subscribe but seen that i am already subscribed! you must not have put out any recent videos...anyways i have a small young mainly apple orchard an was going to fence it and let my chickens access it...was wondering if they would do any damage to my trees?looks like comfrey would be out of the question though...God bless...

You will respect Honeycrisp's authoritah!

[@krzysztofrudnicki5841]

I dont know if I missed this in video, but how wide is your run?

[@jonwilliams624]

I have a Saskatoon bush and just noticed that it has rust, mostly on the berries. They have odd orangish bumps. What is the recipe for comfrey tea? I enjoy you videos!

[@ParkrosePermaculture]

I'm going to make a video later this week, but I let comfrey and water ferment and make a stinky strong tea and then dilute it and spray it on the trees in dry weather.

[@jonlundberg2466]

Do the chickens leave the bees alone?

[@ParkrosePermaculture]

They do but sometimes the ducks catch one in the air and eat it.
