Dog versus chicken!! Stop it before it happens to you!

What happens here

Implement a strategic rotation schedule for the mobile chicken coop to maximize pasture health and chicken foraging. Initially, move the coop to a new section of pasture every three days for the first few weeks, then every other day, and eventually daily as the chicks grow and their manure output increases. This frequent rotation ensures the chickens always have access to fresh grass, spreads their droppings evenly as natural fertilizer, and prevents over-fertilization or damage to the grass in any single spot.

Goal: Ensure fresh forage and even pasture fertilization
