What happens here
The farmer observes the broiler chickens in their mobile coop, noting their significant growth and high feed consumption. He approaches the enclosure, which is surrounded by electric netting, and retrieves a bucket to feed them. He also mentions plans to build two more mobile coops and the pasture rotation strategy of moving chickens behind cows for 'sanitizing' the pasture.
Goal: Assess chicken growth, feed needs, and outline future coop expansion and grazing plans.
