You've never seen a pastured poultry setup like this! Innovative and Safe!

What happens here

After the poultry netting is set up, the presenter drives the side-by-side vehicle to the mobile chicken coop and hitches it using a tow bar. He then carefully pulls the coop into the newly fenced area. Once the coop is in position, he unhitches it from the vehicle and places the orange wheel chocks under its wheels to prevent movement. He then returns to the electric fence charger, ensures its solar panel is facing south for optimal sunlight exposure, and activates it by flipping the switch. He demonstrates checking the charge by touching a wire to the ground rod, showing a spark, confirming the fence is live. The fence is temporarily turned off before the chickens are released.

Goal: Securely place the mobile coop within the electrified perimeter and activate the fence.
