That’s some nice pretty green grass for winter time

My family had ran a 5,000 chicken farm in upstate NY from about 1919-1968 and they were mostly outdoors year round. They had to give up because of the competition from the big factory farms.

[@carolleenkelmann3829]

I can't think that factory run chicken farms would be any competition for farmers specializing in free-range, bio, no pesticide or herbicides products. At least in today's food production practices.

[@Nightowl5454]

@carolleenkelmann3829 55 years ago organic products weren't really a big thing like they are today. People's eyes weren't as opened up to all the horrible and shady stuff that has frequently happened with factory farms. Most people have just always gone with the cheapest prices and that squeezed out most smaller farms.

[@dylanmatter1088]

what's a factory farm?

[@Nightowl5454]

@dylanmatter1088 a factory farm is basically a farm that's run like a factory, pretty much every animal is inside of a building all or most of its life. The animals are usually packed into tight spaces and in high concentration. It's extremely common for chickens to be raised that way. Diseases can be devastating and wipe out huge flocks in days.

[@dylanmatter1088]

So I guess I have a factory farm. Cool.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

Evening Chuck,sondra And JW It’s great to see how the birds welled with the cold weather! I’m planning on getting some meat birds this spring, we live in SW Louisiana and had a very harsh winter! All three days!!! Went from gas heaters and Eskimo cloths dec 19th back to summer clothes and switched on AC Christmas Day!!! I’m looking into electrical fence wire, and tried to search brand you use. Any issues with tall grass grounding them out? Thx for y’all’s vid and sharing ur experience

[@Art-ot2jn]

Good for retired men tnis system

[@jazzybel6230]

Happy New year Chuck & Sondra ! I really enjoy all your video's. Quick question - I saw Angel prancing around- do you still have Lambchop and the two goats you got from Jamie ? just wondering..

[@robinwhitlatch4497]

Happy New Year Chuck & Sondra. Meat birds look good, they have grown out well in the cooler weather. What breed are they? What is your average rain fall amount / year in your area? Do you still have Cinnamon? I haven’t seen her with the steers in the last few videos that you showed the cattle. How is the Racken house working out? Glad to see y’all made it through the cold weather ok.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

These are “Jackie” chickens. We get them from freedom ranger hatcheries I think. Here we get between 40-50” rain per year. It’s been a west past 12 months! Cinnamon went to the butcher a few months ago. We couldn’t keep her in the fence and she had to go. Raken house is working good. Needed more chips down in a few places so we are working on improving that right now. Thanks so much for watching.

[@lisabobbystamey7953]

You should have played some music while you were doing all the kicking around LOL

[@SheratonParkFarms]

😆😆. Yeah. Should have. Something silly.

[@MrBigjoecincy]

So if you had a coop out there and just moved the coop around with some sheep how far would the chickens go from the coop and would they go back to the coop each day if you didn't have the fence up?

[@RocketshipRob]

Chickens! PS, the new merch is cool!

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Thanks Rob! I have something for you next time you are here.

[@sasshe9240]

How is it that you dont get predators attacking the birds?

[@ronmetz9172]

Hi Chuck, how long does it take the Jackies to reach market weight? What’s your feed cost per bird to reach market weight?

[@paulhinton1378]

Do you have to clip the chickens wings so they stay in the netting?

[@bethakin5999]

Was wondering this as well.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

No. They get so big bodied they really can’t fly. Good question!

[@josha963]

How long can you go before moving them if you raise them like that instead of just in a chicken tractor? Also, how many sqft per bird in the netting? Looking to find a way to move them just once a week but not sure how much space I’d need to give them to make that work. Thanks!

[@kevinphelps8201]

In Kentucky we have to have our chickens procassist by USA a butcher I noticed in your videos you guys don't do that could you explain why

[@ernestoraices4158]

Do they fly over the net?

[@thebonestead]

I’m wanting to see how we can sell chickens from our soon to be homestead. I see you butcher your own. Do you have to be usda certified or can you butcher your own chicken and then sell that? Do you have to sell them before butcher and then provide the butcher service?

[@ericnelson8804]

Are those Red Broilers? I just raised a batch of them, they grew larger on average than CC but took longer and consumed more feed so profit margins were lower for us.

[@scottneedham9765]

👍

[@SheratonParkFarms]

👍

[@paulblankenship7865]

Those round bales in the barn sure are small. I hope y’all didn’t give full price for them?

[@juliesheets7395]

Do you ever feed your eggs to your pigs?

[@letsdothisshelliesway1611]
