When you are done with a harvest, you can enjoy it and instead of cleaning it up and starting to grow something, put the chickens on that terrace. Depending on the hens you put, they will have the bed ready between 15 days or a month. In this way we let the earth rest a little and in the meantime we can dedicate ourselves to other tasks in the garden.
Once this bed is finished, we will move it to another or, if we have no more beds in which they can be, we will leave the chickens in the large chicken coop that we have or we will leave the mobile chicken coop on the side of the garden with our chickens.
BENEFITS OF USING A MOBILE COOKER OR CHICKEN TRACTOR
The advantages and benefits of having a mobile chicken coop or a tractor chicken coop are diverse:
- Eliminate plant debris from crops or weeds that come out on the terrace. This way we feed the chickens and avoid the task of cleaning ourselves.
- At the same time, they remove any seeds that have fallen into the bed of other grasses or previous crops, thus ensuring that so many grasses do not germinate.
- They remove the soil in search of food with which we manage to aerate and loosen the surface of the terrace a little (for this it is important that they do not stay long).
- They feed on larvae and caterpillars among other pests, so we “disinfect” the terrace from possible pests for subsequent crops.
- They eat snails and possibly eggs they have laid underground or in the more humid areas of the terrace.
- While they live there, they fertilize the terrace with their droppings, which will help us provide nitrogen to the soil.
- We feed our chickens with the most complete food that exists, the natural food, which is a saving and a good contribution for them.
- The eggs of our hens will be of better nutritional quality and, on several occasions, will have a more intense coloring and a more homogeneous structure.
- We will have much healthier chickens, thanks to food and space to move around.
