OUR TOP 3 EXPENSES GETTING STARTED FARMING Tour of farm equipment and a look at our chicken coop!
What happens here
Josh provides a tour of his chicken coop, emphasizing its predator-proof design. The coop features an 8x8-foot enclosed outdoor run area for the chickens. Inside, he demonstrates the exterior-mounted egg-laying boxes, allowing for easy egg collection without entering the main coop area. He also points out two broody hens sitting on nests. The interior includes roosting bars and a metal water bucket. A clever mechanism is shown: a string that raises and lowers a door, acting as a 'chicken guillotine' to secure the chickens inside at night and keep predators out.
Goal: Showcase the features and predator-proofing of the chicken coop.
