Comparison of different methods for raising chickens

chicken paddock

This link has a very informative article about raising chickens and compares the many different methods. Which include:

  • Coop and run
  • chicken tractor
  • free range
  • pastured poultry pens
  • Paddocks
Most of the information pertains to largish numbers of chickens.  If we were going to look at a small number of chickens (as in 2) then i think the impact of the chickens on the ground may be less.  

I think with only 2 chickens something between the pastured poultry pens and paddocks could be the solution.

I do like the idea of them living largely off what is around.
