Pastured poultry in Kansas

Pastured chickens

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.

PVC chicken waterer

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

Keeping chicken water cool
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?
