Manage Mobile Chicken Coop & Pasture

Dangerous situation!
What happens here
Drive the ATV to the mobile chicken coop area, which is enclosed by electric poultry netting with a solar-powered energizer. Turn off the electric fence energizer for safety. Distribute fresh water from the carried buckets into the chicken waterers. The farmer then demonstrates moving the mobile coop forward to a new section of pasture. This mobile coop is equipped with an automatic Chickcozy door that closes at night and opens in the morning. This rotational movement allows the chickens to fertilize the ground more evenly. The farmer points out how the chickens' concentrated droppings have 'beaten up' the current area and how moving the coop will allow the grass to recover and become lush again, demonstrating the principles of rotational grazing and natural fertilization.
Goal: Rotate mobile chicken coop to new pasture section and provide fresh water.
