Chicken tractor

This is a chicken tractor, which is essentially a mobile chicken pen that is moved to a new location every few days. The chooks scratch the soil in search of worms, seeds and bugs and they leave their phosphate-rich droppings on the ground. This makes the soil below the tractor more fertile, and it will later be planted up with productive fruit and nut trees.
