Robert Plamondon’s Poultry and Rural Living

beth_feeding_small_barred_rock_pulletsI’ve been writing up practical poultry tips on this website since 1997. Somebody had to!

When we moved back to Oregon in 1995, we soon started raising free-range chickens. There was little information on free-range poultry back then, and most of it was wrong. I embarked on a literature survey of the past 100 years, to find out what ideas and techniques worked and what didn’t. We put the more likely ones into practice, and also wrote them up here on Plamondon.com.

We’re raised grass-fed chickens, eggs, turkey, and pork on the through 2020, using the same techniques shown here. My monthly newsletter archives give some news about the latest goings-on plus a to-do list appropriate to the time of year.
