Baby Chickens! Going to the BIG HOUSE!

What happens here

The host provides a brief tour of the 'Broodmobile,' which is a wooden chicken coop built on a small haywagon chassis. He points out its features, including existing nesting boxes and roosting poles. He explains that the wood for the coop was milled on his own sawmill. The goal is to secure this mobile coop, particularly against predators, using an automatic door and solar motion lights, to prevent the losses experienced in the previous year.

Goal: Familiarize with the mobile coop and its design elements, including predator prevention.
