Understand Mobile Coop Design and Benefits

What happens here

The farmer describes the mobile coop as a 5x8-foot structure built with 2x4 lumber. It's designed to be easily moved around the yard, utilizing 'snow skis' (runners) on the ends for effortless dragging. He explains the benefits of this system: the chicks' droppings enrich the soil, making the grass 'pop,' and the foraging activity contributes to better-tasting meat. The coop will be moved every three days initially, then daily as the chicks grow larger. He also mentions the eventual need for a second coop as the birds mature, as one coop can only comfortably hold 20-25 birds when fully grown.
