Welcome back, Poultry Nerds!
In this jam-packed episode, Carey and Jennifer dive deep into chicken coop design, comparing fixed coops vs. chicken tractors, winter preparation, predator management, bird density, and how chicken math ALWAYS wins.

Whether you’re designing your first backyard coop or upgrading your serious breeding setup, this episode arms you with practical, real-world advice on:

• Choosing between tractors and stationary coops
• Winterizing your birds’ housing
• Keeping flocks stress-free for better egg production & chick vigor
• Managing rats, predators, wind, and weather
• Why you ALWAYS end up needing more than one pen
• Coop planning mistakes we’ve learned the hard way
• How livestock, goats, pigs & other animals affect your setup
• Spacing, bird density, ground maintenance & disease prevention
• Why tractors make your grass GREENER (yes, really!)

If you want healthier birds, better production, and a coop setup that grows WITH your flock, this is a must-listen.
