  ur poultry, which at that time consisted or meat broilers and laying hens, were literally turned out to pasture.
Instead of being locked in crowded, artificially lit buildings for their
whole life, we use portable, bottomless shelters to move them to a fresh "saladbar" of grass everyday of the growing season. These
shelters give them the clean grass they need to stay healthy. It also gives them protection from the predators that would wipe them out if they were free ranging.
For winter, in our climate, when it is not fit for man nor beast to be outside, the laying hens are kept in buildings with lots of natural lighting and dry shaving. They are free to move around and scratch
to their hearts desire.
