What happens here

The farmer shows a wooden brooder box built into the mobile coop. This box has a small door and handles, allowing it to sit flush on the ground. A circular hole in the top allows for a heat lamp to be inserted, keeping the baby chicks warm at night. This is typically used when temperatures drop below approximately 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Goal: A built-in wooden brooder box with a heat lamp provides warmth for the chicks at night when temperatures are low.
