Often it is hard to find information to help people who have small scale free range poultry farms. These small scale enterprises are seen as high biosecurity risks due to the owner's lack of knowledge of biosecurity and food safety. There are often welfare issues due to predation, cannibalism, lack of knowledge of welfare standards etc.
Some handy resources include:
- the "Getting Started In Free Range Poultry" Book- details can be found at http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/content/agriculture/tocal-publications/poultry-agguide-free-range
- Hunter Local Land Services have done a You tube video- it is a great resource for small scale free range poultry farms and a good example of collaborative work to help small farm producers.
- Joanne Blunden- a DPI Ag Development Officer with Poultry is very knowledgeable about poultry
