Poultry Housing and Ground Requirements for Fowl Rearing
Poultry can be raised on well drained soils with light loam suitable for grass. Very sandy soils require purchased green feed. heavy clay or adobe soils drain poorly and raise disease risk. Long stationary houses save steps but colony system aids health and stock reproduction. Breeding stock needs extensive range while hens for eggs can thrive on smaller areas. Colony houses should be spaced 200 to 260 feet apart to protect grass, and adapted to winter by regrouping houses to ease winter labor.
