Back Yard Chicken Tractor
We built a Chicken Tractor so our chickens can be moved around to different areas of the yard or garden.
Build Frame
we went with a crazy tee-pee design because we don't have a clue! Its my first home, my first chickens, and my first attempt to build something like this!
Build Nesting Laying Box
we made each end a nest box
Back Wall, and Lift Door Front
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 Cage Part
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!
