We are looking to add a couple emus to our homestead. We currently have layers and rabbits, and will be getting a flock of meat birds in Sept. We will also soon have a couple of guineas.
We would like to have the meat birds and emus out on the pasture grazed rotationally. The meat birds will be in a tractor. In order to move the emus around also (we will later be adding a cow and some sheep), we need a portable system. Looking at making a cattle panel hoop house. Do I need to put bedding in there, or will the pasture floor be sufficient? What about winter?
Also, can you offer suggestions for movable fencing?
Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom.
