What happens here

Before moving the mobile chicken coop, prepare the integrated "chicken shack" (brooder box) by lifting off its wooden cover/lid. Then, carefully remove the heat lamp from its position inside the brooder box. This action clears the area for easier movement of the coop and provides access for servicing the feeder and waterer, while also allowing the chicks to acclimate to ambient daytime temperatures if the heat lamp is not actively needed.

Goal: Ensure the chicks are ready for coop relocation and the brooder is accessible.
