I've always admired Joel Salatin's work with pastured poultry. But here's a blog post from an organic chicken farmer who tried it and thinks it's got some major flaws. I found it thought-provoking

The article is flawed in that he takes issue with "pastured poultry"
in general when he is really talking about improper or overuse of chicken
tractor confinement methods. Still Bill makes many good points worth
considering.

I just read Laura' comments on his blog and Bill's followup,
wwhich I thought was inadequate and offtopic. He did not address the concept of pastured poultry in any depth at all. Don't think he really knows much at all about farming.
