What happens here
The presenter showcases a custom-built wooden box, resembling a dog house, designed to fit inside the mobile chicken coop. This 'chick house' has an opening for chicks to enter and a top flap that opens to allow a heat lamp to be placed inside. Additional holes are drilled for airflow, providing warmth and shelter for the chicks when temperatures are too low.
Goal: Provide warmth and shelter for chicks in cold weather
