What happens here

The farmer shows a mobile chicken coop, explaining that the birds (35-50 of them) are regularly moved across their land and yard. He highlights how the chickens, in addition to chicken feed, consume grass, worms, and bugs. He points out sections of grass where the coop has been moved, illustrating how the previous areas were 'dead' and are now recovering to a lush green state, demonstrating effective pasture rotation.

Goal: The farmers demonstrate their mobile chicken coop system, explaining how the chickens are moved to different areas to fertilize the land.
