What happens here

To prevent chickens from getting caught or injured when moving the coop, the presenter demonstrates a clever technique. Before pulling the coop, the feeder is placed towards the front of the coop. This leverages the broiler chickens' voracious appetite, causing them to move forward to access the food as the coop is dragged. This ensures all birds are safely within the new section of the coop and clear of the back frame before it settles onto the new patch of grass.

Goal: Use the chickens' appetite to safely guide them forward as the coop is moved, preventing them from getting trapped.
