Me and my wife are active duty military stationed out here in Colorado. We got into pastured poultry by discovering Joel Salatin's books and decided to try a small batch for ourselves. We borrowed land from a nearby neighbor, and raised 42 Cornish Cross chicks to 8 weeks old and processed by ourselves. This was our first time every doing this, so we definitely learned a lot. But we loved every minute of it and plan to do it again in the future. Even if you don't want to get into selling pastured poultry, this process allowed us to fill an entire deep freezer with good, healthy chicken for our family at a fraction of the price it would have been if we had purchased from a store or a farm.

This video shows that no matter where you are, or where you live, you can raise pastured poultry!
