Poultry can be raised on well drained soils with a light loam ideal for grass. Very light sandy soils need purchased green feed, while heavy clays drain poorly and hinder health. Long stationary houses save steps, but the colony system with 100 hens per house allows free range and easier winter adaptation. breeding stock needs ample range.
