What is an "EGG MOBILE"? The Mobile Chicken Coop Palace!
What happens here
To protect chickens from predators, an automatic chicken coop door, specifically a "Chickcozy" brand model, is installed. The door is shown mounted on the side of the coop with a small wooden ramp leading up to it. The creator demonstrates its function, explaining that it closes automatically after dark, securing the chickens inside the coop for the night.
Goal: Implement an automated system to protect chickens from nocturnal predators.
