What happens here
The core of pastured poultry management involves daily rotational grazing. The presenter shows how to easily move the chicken tractor a few feet forward to an untouched section of grass. Immediately after, the portable electric netting fence is also moved to encompass the new grazing area, ensuring continuous predator protection. Finally, the feed trough and water buckets are repositioned and refilled within the newly accessible pasture. This routine provides the chickens with fresh forage, helps distribute their manure as natural fertilizer, and prevents overgrazing in any single spot.
Goal: This step demonstrates the daily routine of moving the chicken tractor and electric fence to fresh pasture, and subsequently relocating the feed and water resources.
