It's finally time!

What happens here

The presenter activates the automatic "ChickCozy" coop door, changing its setting from "manual" to "light" mode (which allows it to open and close based on ambient light). The chickens are then released from the coop, quickly heading towards the feeders and waterers within their new, expanded grazing area. The presenter explains that he waits until his chickens are as big as or bigger than a hawk or owl before moving them to open pasture, and he demonstrates how the chickens instinctively run under the coop for cover when startled by a simulated predator warning call. This instinctive behavior is vital for their survival against aerial predators.

Goal: Release the chickens into their new grazing area and explain predator control strategy
