    I love the proliferation of all of these tools for better livestock management!!! I really do think that we are in the beginning of a revolution in food production.

    what about the winter? Do you raise chickens then? What powers your feed auger?

    • @rockyridgefarm
      @rockyridgefarm  5 месяцев назад

      The feed auger is solar powered, and no we don't raise them through the winter. April to October is the best we can do in PA.

    What is the engine power of the car you pulled to move this chicken coop (How many horsepower does the car have)? Is the car a 4X4 or a 4X2 wheel drive?

    • @rockyridgefarm
      @rockyridgefarm  4 месяца назад

      We use a Polaris Ranger 700 UTV, 4x4. Power is not the issue, it is weight. Anything smaller than that will be too light to pull these range coops.

    How did you keep the water tank and lines from freezing in the winter?

    • @rockyridgefarm
      @rockyridgefarm  6 месяцев назад

      We don't run year round, the birds are only on the pasture in the summer months so freezing is not an issue.

    Sir this is super neat I looked at the site for these I have a question the thing is did you buy two different mobile coops one for egg lays and the other for broilers because if not why did you not just buy the bigger one and have half the labor and more capacity? It is like a commercial systems will usually have two batch of birds like a left and a right so twice as much stuff to look after but if you combine the two labor goes down and so does the entire it in amount and makes it way more efficient along with having the spare money to buy the back up stuff like motors must have because you eliminated more than half of one.
    Or maybe you just want two different batches at a time so less time between them

    • @rockyridgefarm
      @rockyridgefarm  3 месяца назад

      There are two reasons we stayed with two smaller coops versus 1 big one. You're right, the large one would be more efficient, but we can't handle processing 600 birds at a time with our current setup/crew. Also, our fields are too small to handle that larger coop, we would have trouble maneuvering it on our ground.

      @@rockyridgefarmyou should pencil the numbers on transporting the birds 2 hrs to a processor vs you spending 2+hrs butchering the birds yourself. You specialize in growing these birds and marketing them. Let someone who specializes in turning live bird into product handle that part, plus you can offer customer cut up pieces much easier than doing yourself. You admitting that size was determined by your processing bottleneck. Remove the bottleneck by letting a processor do it. Your bottleneck should be your market. You make more money by being able to sell more birds, not on how many you can butcher.

      Based on our current throughput, 4 years just in labor savings. By extending our season with turkeys and the other unexpected savings it will be a little faster
