Back Yard Chicken Tractor

We built a Chicken Tractor so our chickens can be moved around to different areas of the yard or garden.

we made the back wall solid to keep critters out, added a lift door for front main entry, o and we cut off excess wood frame from top.

chicken wire the bottom, must be racoon and other smart critter proof!
Paint


paint the wood so it last longer, we used barn red from farm store!
Move Some Chickens In

4 chickens could live in this but you got to move it often so they can forage, it fits over my raised garden beds, so i can have them work each box and fertilize it too!
