Summary

A fold is a movable, enclosed unit used to house and manage poultry. Unlike a fixed structure, a fold can be shifted from place to place, giving birds fresh ground to feed on while protecting them from predators and harsh weather. Rearing poultry successfully in a fold depends on regular feeding, watering, sanitation, and protection.
