Ronda Rousey Instagram – We at @browseyacres are taking on climate change with regenerative agriculture 👩🏼‍🌾 Which is why we’re soon going to be able to offer pasture raised chickens! By teaming up with our animals to mimic natural processes we’re building more soil to help our cows (and now chickens) sequester more greenhouse gasses than they produce. Here’s the plan! Our goal is to take @browseyacresoregon pasture land we recently acquired that had been neglected for years and make it into a thriving ecosystem. One of the ways we’re doing that is incorporating two groups of chickens: Broilers, who grow big and fast are for meat – and Layers who will be producing eggs. But the meat and eggs are just byproducts of what the chickens are actually here to do – heal our land. As part of our pasture rehab, we’re moving the broilers to a different patch of grass every day inside a mobile scooner. Because of the higher density of birds in a more limited space, they scratch and eat the grass down to the dirt, mixing in 300lbs of their poop a day in the process (nutrients from the dirt, grass and bugs is great the chickens’ health too!) We’ll then let that patch of grass regrow for a whole year before letting the cows come in to mow the grass down again, dropping their own steamy piles of 💩 nutrients in the process. Then the layers (we’re still working on their accommodations) will come in behind the cows to scratch through the cow poo, eat the fly larvae, and mix the poo piles in with the soil. They will be entirely free to roam and in a lower density than the broilers, so the grass can grow back faster to be grazed by the cows again sooner. The layers will have their hen house to return to for shelter and protection from predators at night where we’ll collect their eggs.
