    I built a hen house for one thousand laying hens,I get them at fourteen weeks .regulating tell us how much space for each bird, I insulated the house, raised the floor three feet so the chicken droppings drop down ,the hens are on strong mesh,also vents for air,feeders and drinkers suspended, I have rool away nest boxes, the eggs roll out to the back of box to a walking passage, this keeps the eggs clean,also so easy to collect the eggs onto trays,I have a step up for the hens into boxes, there made with a hinge at both sides so I close them up for night time this keeps the hens from nesting in them at night and not getting dirty.I line the nest box with a thin type plastic,the eggs Roll onto trays at back.I also have light on a timer for winter, hens need around fourteen hours light to stay in full production. I also have an automatic floor sweeper to clean out the droppings to a bit,didn't have that for years, it saves time and labour.rodents can be a problem, if you don't follow guides for prevention. I open the hatches early morning ,and have steps down to the grass, i have eight ft high fence around an acre,which is set in cement at the bottom to keep out predators. I have no other birds in there or no male, as i market the eggs and they stay fresher,also it can avoide different problems. I have two other large housing units, total five thousand, some point of lay,some full production, others end of production. I farm geese and ducks for christmas market all in separate housing, this works for me ,i live in Ireland, we get all the seasons in one day sometimes, Good luck to you in your farming, and all you do☘

    Very impressive operation! It's so nice to see people treating animals (that will finally be eaten) not like a product but like creatures. Mixing their food by hand and feeding them in person. Your birds have the life of a rich man's horse! Thank your for making such a difference!
    Chickens have become pretty disgusting to me - - seeing how the food industry raises, feeds, treats and processes them. That goes for most animals that do not only live in the wild. Watching your video makes me feel very comfortable in putting more meat on the table, only pasture raised in general, but especially chicken. For the last year I've only been eating pasture raised eggs. Last week I finally found a trusted supplier for pasture raised chicken and my first order is arriving this Wednesday. It's airfryed pasture raised chicken drumsticks for Thanksgiving.

      yeah, but chickens live for 7 years and give eggs for 3-4. as a vegan I would be more okay with using chickens for eggs, and for their hard effort letting them live, so basically vegetarian.
      these chickens are probably slaughtered when the chickens are only a few weeks old.
      it looks lovely though, for the time they do have because their heads get chopped off.

    Hey, I am from Brazil and I work with broiler chicken, but at a large scale production company in a conventional manner. I liked your alternative feeding, especially because of the reducing costs. Here we can´t use the alternative feeding because of the large scale, but it is something to be researched. I am subscribed to your channel and I will follow your Free-range Chicken Farm because I think it is very interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, I learned a lot with you.

    Nice design of the chicken run - I like the bamboo cladding. As for the corrugated sheeting, it is possible that the metal makes the place colder when it's cold outside and hotter when it's hot outside due to its high heat conductivity. You may want to try woven bamboo sheeting (if it's available) instead to reduce heat gain and heat loss.

      It's similar to "duck-weed" here in the US. It's spelled "Azolla" and it's a type of water fern. It's very nutritious and grows really fast. Duck weed is "Lemnoideae" which is more of a true plant. Both are very high in protein.
