A day in the life of a YouTube Farmer

What happens here

The farmer prepares the daily feed for his 100 Cornish Cross meat birds by mixing four scoops of feed with approximately four gallons of water, noting its expansion. He transports two buckets of this feed mixture to the poultry enclosure. He safely turns off the Premier 1 Electric Shock Netting before entering to pour the feed into the trough. He also retrieves and returns a couple of escaped chicks, emphasizing the benefits of the netting for predator control and chick containment.

Goal: Provide daily feed and manage the poultry enclosure
