At the Neuharth Family Farm in Kansas, Carolyn’s birds
not only enjoy clean water, they also have a a well-thought-out and
healthful living situation. After considering the options, the
Neuharths decided that Salatin-style
chicken tractors
weren’t best suited for their farm. Instead, they follow in Andy Lee
and Patricia Foreman’s footsteps, allowing their chickens to
free range around a stationary coop.
Carolyn sent me the
photos in this post as entries to our chicken
waterer photo contest.
As you can see, her broilers get the best of everything, including copious, POOP-free water. If I lived in Kansas
(and didn’t grow my own), I’d definitely make an order for some
pastured poultry from the Neuharth farm!
How do you keep the water from getting very hot in the water hose that feeds the pvc? I have trouble with that in the summer?
Thanks,
Becky
Beckh — In general, shade is the best way to keep the water cool, but it doesn’t look like Carolyn went that route. Maybe Kansas is just cooler than it is here?
