Free Range Chickens, The Predator Reality No One Warns You About

Описание: Free range chickens sound like the perfect answer.
Healthier birds, better eggs, and less work.

But on a real working farm, free range comes with predators, losses, property damage, and hard tradeoffs that most people never talk about.

Here at Possum Ridge Farms, we’ve raised chickens for years and tried just about everything, mobile electric netting, hoop houses, guardian dogs, permanent housing, and layered protection systems.

We did everything the experts said.

And we still lost birds.

In this video, I break down what actually works, what falls apart fast, and what no one tells you about free range chickens, so you don’t have to learn it the hard way.

This isn’t meant to scare you away from chickens.
It’s meant to help you build a system that still works a year from now.

If you’re dealing with predators, losses, or burnout, you’re not alone.
