FREEDOM FROM THE SUPERMARKET! Raising meat birds on very small acreage!

What happens here

The mobile chicken coop, also known as a chicken tractor, is designed to house baby chicks from approximately two weeks old until they are ready for processing. This particular coop is a 10 by 12-foot structure built from PVC drain pipe, making it lightweight and easy to move. It features a metal roof, which is described as shiny tin, to reflect sunlight and keep the birds cool. The primary purpose of this system is to allow chickens to forage on fresh grass daily, contributing to the health of both the birds and the lawn.

Goal: Learn about the mobile chicken coop system, its purpose for raising baby chicks on pasture, and its role in lawn health. The coop is a 10x12 foot structure made from PVC pipe with a metal roof.
