o. sorry this is …
o. sorry this is three month late, but just try googling fallow bed. i think its a raised bed. but, i do know that you move the chickens so there poop will fall on each of the places you put them, adding nutrients to the soil, and you move them about every month. you just pick up the coop or tractor and shift it next to where it was, or where ever you need to fertilize. good luck

Will the chickens scratch up the seedlings/small plants? Or do you only set them to graze on a bed that is not currently in use?
Long often do you think she has to change, beds, before their poo makes the soil too nitrogen-filled?

A Fallow Bed is a …
A Fallow Bed is a raised bed garden that the garden plants have been harvested out of.
U move the chickens to keep them from OVER fertilizing the raised bed with there droppings.
Chicken manure is VERY high in nitrogen and can kill plants if too much is put into the soil.
U mix the chicken droppings into the soil after u move the chickens.

Hopefully someone can help me, I am looking to have a very similar setup and was just wondering what a Fallow Bed is? When do you move the chickens and why? I need to know so that I dont make any mistakes – don’t want to harm my chickens

Great idea to rotate the chickens from one growing bed to another like that. You should have your own show on HGTV!

wouldnt it just be easyer to make two cages put one on the area you want to move the chickens to and then move them one by one instead of chase them.

GardenGirl a good idea instead of chasing the chickens is to wait till it is almost dark when the chickens are calm and put them in a large thick collapsible shipping box. Move your tractor and put the chickens back in. You can hang the collapsed cardboard box in your shed.

How cute! I’m still working on DH about us getting some chickens — maybe eventually I will wear him down LOL!! I would love to have at least 2 hens to lay eggs. Would 2 chickens produce enough manure to use in my veggie gardens?

Oh, one more thing, if you have chickens in an enclosure like this, try taking them out and placing them in another cage, move the tractor to the new spot, then take them from the holding cage to replace them in the original tractor… eh?
