What happens here

Before adding new bedding, remove the feeding troughs and waterer from the brooder. The video demonstrates removing a long, metal feeder that is visibly full of wood shavings and droppings. Another red plastic feeder (designed to prevent birds from sitting in it) is also removed, along with the chick waterer. This step is crucial for preventing cross-contamination and ensuring chicks have access to clean feed and water.

Goal: Carefully remove soiled feeders and waterers from the brooder to prepare for fresh bedding and new food/water, ensuring equipment is clean before reuse.
