BEHAVIORAL NATURE OF BACKYARD FREE-RANGE BIRDS IN WEED CONTROL METHOD
Animal-plant relationships generate a vital, symbiotic cycle that refines ecosystem health. Free-range birds of chicken and turkey (tractor chicken and turkey) enhance soil and plant/tree development through a sustainable/biological weeding method while releasing nutrient-rich waste. As plants provide oxygen and food for animals, the decomposed organic matter from animals’ wastes enriches soil, enhancing plant growth and development.
