What happens here
The mobile chicken coop, referred to as the 'Eggmobile,' is a key component of the rotational grazing system. Built on an old hay wagon, it features roll-out nest boxes made of galvanized steel for easy egg collection and an automatic 'Run-Chicken' door that operates on a timer or light sensor. The coop's design allows it to be easily moved by hand or with an ATV, providing fresh foraging ground for the chickens.
Goal: Detail the construction and features of the mobile chicken coop.
