The extent of your organic poultry farm depends on your goals, space, and finances. The extensive system is an all-in-one package that includes everything needed for an organic poultry farm. This includes everything from housing birds to feeding them--and even caring for their waste. The only thing you have to worry about is keeping enough feeders full so that your chickens don't starve!

Advantages of an extensive system in organic poultry production

An extensive system is a good fit for larger farms. It's easier to manage and more efficient than smaller systems. It's also cheaper, so you can spread the cost out over more birds or animals (not just chickens).

Disadvantages of an extensive system in organic poultry production

More work for the farmer!

More work for the farmer's family.

More work for the farmer's employees.

More work for the farmer's neighbors.

More work for the farmer’s community, including local businesses and organizations that benefit from economic activity generated by an extensive system in organic poultry production (e.g., restaurants and grocery stores).

An extensive system is a great option for larger farms but not always best for smaller ones.

An extensive system is a great option for larger farms that want to grow their flock as quickly and efficiently as possible. It’s also great for farms with plenty of space because you don’t have to keep the hens in cages or pens when they aren't being fed or housed.

For smaller farms, however—especially those starting—an extensive system can be difficult to manage and maintain. Because each hen spends more time outdoors than in a cage (or coop), there will be more risk of loss due to predators or weather conditions such as storms or cold spells that cause stressors like frostbite on feet if left out too long without shelter from snowfall; this makes it harder for small flocks like these

Conclusion

The main advantage of an extensive system is that it’s scalable, meaning you can grow your business by adding new farms as needed. This is especially helpful if you have multiple locations where each farm has its own unique set of needs and challenges.
