How To Train Chickens! The Coolest Mobile Coop You've Ever Seen!

What happens here

The presenter outlines the strategy for training the chicks to recognize the coop as their home. Initially, the large main coop door will be kept open so the chicks can freely enter and exit and establish it as their roosting place. Once they are accustomed to returning at night, the automatic 'Run-Chicken' door will be activated for daily automation. The electric poultry netting will remain energized to continuously protect the birds from predators.

Goal: Explain the process of training chickens to use the coop and highlight future security upgrades.
