It really looks to be an interesting video with some essential methods that can be adapted by all who is in this business. I dont think other local farmers ever thinks about such an arrangements for chickens including the fan. By the way is there any thumb rule to calculate how many chickens can be put in a single cage, just asking out of curiosily.

Thank you!

Thank you. Yes, the rule of thumb for chickens is 1 bird per 2 square feet. The chicken tractor shown in the video is a 10' x 6', so it holds 30 chickens in it. We also do turkeys which is one bird per 5-6 square feet. And we put quail 3 birds per 1 square foot.
