THE DIRTY SECRETS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT RAISING PASTURED POULTRY....

What happens here

To prepare for moving the chicken tractor, first remove all feeders and waterers from inside the coop. This encourages the chickens to gather towards the feeder locations, making it easier to guide them as the coop is moved. The presenter demonstrates how to pull the mobile coop forward using a rope attached to its frame. It is essential to pull slowly and carefully to ensure no birds are trapped under the moving structure. Once moved, check behind the coop to confirm all birds have safely transitioned to the new section of grass.

Goal: Relocate the chicken tractor to a new section of grass for fresh forage and fertilization.
