Save the Earth one chicken tractor at a time.

Chicken tractor
A chicken tractor is a movable chicken coop lacking a floor. Chicken tractors may also house other kinds of poultry. Most chicken tractors are a lightly built A-frame which one person can drag about the yard. It may have wheels on one or both ends to make this easier. Wikipedia

American Farmers Not Named Bill Gates Are Coming Up With Real Environmentally Friendly Solutions To Raising Organic Chicken Farms That Don’t Include Vaccines & Artificial Meat
.... The farm employs mobile, floorless poultry houses. Each of these large structures can accommodate up to 6,000 chickens.

We need to genetically engineer chickens or crops or both such that the chickens roam around eating all the pests and leave the food crop alone.

Food crops don't grow on pasture.

Pasture - Wikipedia
Pasture lands in the narrow sense are enclosed tracts of farmland, grazed by domesticated livestock, such as horses, cattle, sheep, or swine. The vegetation of tended pasture, forage, consists mainly of grasses, with an interspersion of legumes and other forbs* (non-grass herbaceous plants).

*I shall try to work this into conversation:

Forb - Wikipedia
A forb or phorb is a herbaceous flowering plant that is not a graminoid ( grass, sedge, or rush ). The term is used in biology and in vegetation ecology, especially in relation to grasslands [1] and understory. [2] Typically these are dicots without woody stems.

Hey freebeard, did you once share a design for a chicken coop over a garden or something?

I swear I saw something like that and I am pretty sure it was from you, but who knows?

[freebeard]

Anything is possible. Seriously.

But it's fun to speculate. It might have been the Mother Earth article on raising chicken on a wire-floored attic over a pig pen -- which is gross but apparently lucrative.

Or, it might have been my own idea of a geodesic dome with five (or minimum three) legs; that would walk across the landscape.

Ring any bells?

[redpoint5]

I'll raise the idea by genetically engineered chickens arial fertilizing genetically modified crops.

What's the issue with modified food or crops? Everything you eat has been modified over the years by selecting certain genetic traits. White chickens don't last long out in the wild, nowhere they can effectively hide by camouflage.

You’re right—selective breeding and genetic modification have been part of agriculture for centuries. Virtually everything we eat has been altered in some way to improve yield, taste, or resistance. The long-term effects of some modifications can be debated, but we’ve been consuming hybrid crops for decades without clear evidence of harm.

[Piotrsko]

Not sure the evidence of harm has been hidden. I know of people who have exotic food allergies, but their doctor claims BS.
