What happens here

The video begins with the farmer introducing his mobile chicken coop, which currently houses about 40 laying hens. He points out a few escapees, humorously noting it's a sign to expand their space. The plan involves setting up Premier1 'Shock or Not' electric fencing in the yard to create new pasture areas for the hens. He mentions this system is also used for meat birds.

Goal: The farmer introduces his flock of approximately 40 laying hens housed in a mobile coop and explains the plan to utilize electric poultry netting to expand their grazing area in the yard.
