Raise Happy Outdoor Chickens

I'm a writer/farmer/engineer who raises free-range chickens and pastured broilers on a 37-acre farm in Oregon's Coast Range. I'm reinventing the lost free-range chicken farming techniques of 100 years ago, which are more suitable for small flocks than modern commercial methods, and more practical than what a lot of people are doing. There are so many fewer farmers than there used to be, a lot of their knowledge was forgotten. We've lost our cultural continuity with our farming past. You can rediscover it with me as I try the old techniques out and give them a modern twist.

I raise the real McCoy: grass-fed, free-range chickens. If you want happy outdoor chickens, you want this newsletter!

I surveyed the poultry literature of the last 100 years in search of forgotten lore, and I found plenty. No one else has done this. All this stuff goes into the newsletter.

I have a hands-on, practical approach to farming. You won't find geraniums in window boxes on my chicken houses. I've pioneered the development or reintroduction of insulated heat-lamp brooders (which use only 1/3 as much energy as overhead heat lamps), open-front winter housing, cattle-panel hoop coops, single-wire electric fences, and other innovations that will save you time and money, while keeping your chickens happier and healthier.

Most of the information is equally useful to backyarders, hobbyists, homesteaders, back-to-the-landers, and small farmers.
