10 Responses to Feather net, egg mobile and pastured poultry
@thecorcoran Shoot the roaming dogs, and clip the birds wings. I’m just kidding. The birds always get out every once and a while, and if you have killer dogs roaming around I’d clip the birds wings.
Do you have problems with the birds flying over the net? I live in a suburban area and I am trying to avoid clipping my birds wings–so they have a fighting chance against any roaming dogs. Thoughts?
@SiscoStudio – Decades before we knew Salatin existed, our family and others we knew, moved poultry around on pastures, either in drag pens./ pasture pens (like Salatin uses for broilers) or moblie coops. I recall seeing illustraions in books showing mobile coops on wheels dating back to the 1800’s, but Salatin mentions learning that mobile coops were in use in Europe in the 1500’s. His enthusiasm and charisma have certainly helped bring this practice to the attention of the public!
Couldn’t you have sped up the cranking process by editing that out? Would have been nice for the viewer. We don’t need to see all this activity. Give us the gist and keep it moving to the next step. Thank you.

Cool egg mobile did you guy’s build it or buy it? Btw you can put a knob facing up on the crank there and it’ll work alot easier.

Very nice, we are trying to implement the same techniques in Greece, but we are having a hard time trying to change people’s mind.

The Joel Salatin egg mobile model works nicely even in semi-rural areas.
