But, yes moved every day with Kubota, or tractor occasionally if its too wet for kubota to grip.
Daughter's layers are in polynets, with a trailer, and moved every other day.View attachment 980193

These are broilers, so go in at 2-3 weeks old from the brooder, and we aim for a 2kg dw bird.bit late to this thread, would you be able to tell me the size and amount of hens in these tunnels please @Poorbuthappy
we are glad of the reminder, it was over a year ago and not many of us are getting youngerThese are broilers, so go in at 2-3 weeks old from the brooder, and we aim for a 2kg dw bird.
Have had up to 400 in them, but running at 300 currently. 400 is a better impact on the ground, but looks quite full by the time they're fit. Though go in at night whilst they're asleep and they don't cover much floor space.
Moved every day, so always fresh grass to go at.
Tunnel is 40'x19'
Edit: sorry, looking back seems like I've repeated myself a bit
