Safeguarding Chickens and reducing Costs
This technology is a special kind of chicken house that can be moved around. During the day, the chickens get to go outside and find their own food like bugs and plants. When it's time to sleep, they go back into the house where it's safe. What's great about this house is that it's not expensive to build, and it's easy to move. This is really helpful for small farmers who may not have a lot of money for fancy chicken houses. It also makes sure the chickens are happy and well looked after. The house is made from simple materials like wood, metal sheets for the roof, and mesh to keep the chickens safe. It's important to keep the house clean and fresh for the chickens' health. The design also makes sure the air inside is good for the chickens. Placing the house on flat ground and protecting it from predators is also key. All these things together make it a really helpful and practical solution for chicken farming.
This technology is TAAT1 validated.
