See these feathers? Well, these chickens aren't molting. That is the remains of one of my roosters. I have a raptor issue and I don't know what to do. I'm going to take you guys over here to the coupe and show you. The chickens have a little bit of cover underneath this mobile coupe. And this is my mobile coop. Here's how it all works. Uh this is a Chick Cozy automatic chicken coupe door. And uh there's a controller right here, a solar panel right here. It's all solar. It opens in the morning. We got some chickens in here, some hins. So, it opens in the morning and it closes in the evening after dark to protect the birds. Pretty cool. It's got a safety mechanism in there. I will open it up if a chicken gets caught in it. So, I really, really like that. This is my eggmobile/broodmobile. And in here are the hengear roll out nest boxes where the chickens lay their eggs. I've got to move this and I move it probably every week or so through the field and this is an area with the most sparse nutrition on the farm. Chicken manure is super high in nitrogen that gets that grass growing. Here is what we've got that is the real problem. See these feathers? Well, these chickens aren't molting. That is the remains of one of my roosters.
