A poultryman in 1943 on a Hampshire County farm in England moves a poultry fold ( chicken tractor ) into line with the others in the field. Each of these chicken sheds contains 25 birds and are moved their length every day, providing fresh ground for the hens to feed on and also ensuring that the chicken manure is spread across the whole field.
