Followup question on yesterday's posting Fantastic Financial Future via Pastured Poultry Profits Project ("PPPP")
I have been questioned as to why 2,000 birds, and how big of a farm do they need.
To raise 2,000 bird per year, with fresh grass under the bird's feet every day as pastured poultry, will require a grass pasture (or lawn), of just 81 ft. x 81 ft. (ie. 0.15 acres).
Just about anybody, anywhere, can grow 2,000 birds per year, producing 2,731 kg of eviscerated chicken each year, which would provide an annual chicken supply for 74 people at the Canadian average of 37 kg of chicken per person per year.
Is this why CFO won't raise the quota limit for Small Flockers?
A blog to communicate, discuss, and advocate for the civil rights and important role Small Flock Poultry Farmers can play (and should play) in Canadian Society. Small Flockers are on the side of justice & truth, and against privilege & power. Unfortunately, the more we compromise with privilege and power, the more we reduce the capacity for truth and justice.
