The white chickens in tractors (cages) are meat birds that actually don’t
do all that well pastured out. They can burn more calories than they take
in. The red chickens that are completely out on pasture are for egg
production, and they do well pastured out and free ranging. The big rooted
structure in the back is the coop with nest boxes for all of the eggs. As
far as non-flying predators go, if you look to the back left of the coop
you will see white fencing that is electri, and completely movable. You can
even run it off of solar panels.

I assume it’s so he can regulate where they fertilize, peck and scratch.

Oh yes, I live in a city, and let our chickens out to free range, and have
lost a few to hawks…

I think he uses electric fences for ground based predators and fattened
geese (they don’t fly) to stave off airborn predators … look into it.

To protect them from predators, such as hawks, etc.

Predators would have a heyday without the cages
