Regenerative Chicken Farming
Pasture-Raised Poultry Hub
Regenerative chicken farming restores soil, improves biodiversity, and produces nutrient-dense eggs and meat by working with nature instead of against it. The Crop Circle Poultry Model combines pasture rotation, mobile coops, and compost-driven fertility loops—often paired with market gardens—so you get multiple outputs from one integrated design.
This hub links to our two deep-dive poultry silos: Rotational Grazing Chickens and Chicken Manure Compost Systems. If you’re exploring integrated farm loops, also see: circular agriculture and sustainable agriculture.
| Factor | Industrial Poultry | Regenerative Crop Circle Model |
|---|---|---|
| Stocking Density | High (large sheds) | Managed rotation (pasture-based) |
| Sunlight + Outdoor Access | Limited | Full pasture access |
| Antibiotics | Common | Reduced need via rotation + cleanliness |
| Manure Handling | Waste management problem | Compost fertility asset |
| Soil Impact | Degradation | Regeneration |
| Revenue Streams | Usually single product focus | Eggs + meat + compost + vegetables |
*Outputs vary by breed, climate, feed program, rotation timing, and market garden integration.
Rotation timing, paddock sizing, parasite break cycles, stocking density guidance, and water-smart layouts.
Turning waste into fertility: deep bedding, carbon ratios, curing, and compost/compost-tea integration.

Crop Circle Farms designs regenerative poultry systems—layout, rotation planning, coop strategy, fertility loops, and market-garden integration. Contact us for a feasibility + design package.
We support impact-aligned poultry projects (islands, water-stressed regions, community food hubs). Inquire via Growing To Give.
Sponsor pilots, workforce training, or community poultry hubs that connect eggs, compost, and vegetables through circular agriculture.
It can be, especially when you stack revenue streams (eggs + meat + compost value + integrated crops). Profitability depends on feed costs, egg pricing, mortality, labor efficiency, and market access. Our calculator helps you model the basics quickly.
Regenerative systems protect and build soil through managed rotation, living ground cover, composting, and integrated biodiversity.
Rotation cadence depends on stocking density, pasture recovery, weather, and parasite pressure. Many systems move birds regularly to keep ground cover intact and break parasite cycles.
