Moving coop with free range chickens

[silarajc]

When I was researching my tractor, I watched several Joel Salinger YouTube videos. He's the originator of the of the big mobile chicken wagon, if I recall, well over a hundred birds.

He moves it everyday, but only after all the birds are locked in for the evening.

You never move the wagon, while the chickens are out.

He says the birds will always return to the wagon, as long as it's still where it was when they started in the morning.

That really makes sense because the birds are always going to start exploring from the wagon, working their way out, as they become more comfortable in the surroundings, thus making returning the same way natural in the evening.

Based on his experience, there's no limit whatsoever on how far you can move them every day, a hundred yards or a hundred miles, makes no difference.

That makes a lot of sense! Thanks!
