Set Up Feeding and Watering Stations
At 1:08 in
Farm Animals that Work? Chickens love to Sanitize and Fertilize Pastures!
What happens here
Once the chickens are in their new free-range area, set up their feeding and watering stations. The video shows 'Brower' feeders filled with feed being placed on the ground near the coop. Similarly, waterers, which hold a significant amount of water but require regular cleaning, are positioned for easy access. The chickens are attracted to the familiar feeders and quickly begin eating, which helps them acclimate to the new environment. The video also briefly mentions a roll-out nest box from 'Hen Gear' on the side of the coop, designed to keep eggs clean and safe by rolling them away after being laid.
Goal: Provide immediate access to food and water for the free-range chickens.
