What happens here
Establish a dedicated laying hen coop within your garden area. Utilize electric poultry netting (shock-or-not fencing) to manage the hens, allowing them to graze and fertilize specific sections of the garden before planting. The coop itself should be predator-proof, raised off the ground to deter rodents, and include an automatic chicken door for ease of use and security.
Goal: Set up a secure and functional laying hen coop integrated with the garden
