What happens here
The mobile chicken coop, also known as a chicken tractor, is a 10-foot by 12-foot structure. Its frame is constructed from 4-inch PVC drain pipe, making it lightweight and easy to move. The roof is made of corrugated metal panels, providing shelter, and the sides are enclosed with chicken wire to ensure predator protection. The host emphasizes the importance of keeping the coop away from wooded areas where predators are more prevalent.
