Here's how we're gonna beat them! Predator Proofing the Egg Mobile!

What happens here

With the coop and fence prepared, the automatic chicken door is opened to allow the American Bresse chickens to exit. Initially, the chickens are timid and reluctant to come out into the open pasture. The presenter tries to entice them with feed placed on the ground. After a period of hesitation, and even hiding under the coop when a drone (perceived as a hawk) flies overhead, the chickens gradually begin to venture out and explore their new grassy environment, scratching and pecking.

Goal: Successfully move the chickens from the coop into their new pastured environment and help them acclimate.
