Check out "Polyface Farm managed grazing and chickens" by Joel Salatin on YouTube. Got a lot of time for his approach and enthusiasm for lateral thinking.

His books are really interesting reading, though a lot of it is his frustration at the American bureaucracy associated with farming. I use the idea of chickens behind the other livestock in the rotation. Mine go in last before the paddock is rested.
-
I thought his idea on keeping meat rabbits in hutches above the growers was a good use of otherwise wasted space, too.

We've read a bit of JS hence our pasture fed meat birds this year. Will be using the same system next year and maybe raising layer pullets in the same way.
