My 6 Amber-links are getting kinda big for the brooder and we have a small stash of lumber so I was wanting to get some plans for a chicken tractor. So does anyone have some plans for a tractor that's big enough for 6 chickens???

Thanks,Collin

with six chickens I don't feel a tractor is what you need I thoink a coop is more your speed However if you want the tractor then look on the coop page and get ideas the look under the search for tractor plans.

Good Luck to you.

My chicken tractor will house 7 chickens.  It is heavy but I'm sure with my riding lawnmower or 4 wheeler I should be able to move it.  I wanted a tractor cause I want to be able to let my chickens free range.  It's not done yet but here is what it looks like right now.

I really like your coop. Thank you for the link to the plans.  Do you have any pictures of construction?

Got my own private Idaho with my DH, DD, 1 papillon, 1 min pin, 1 OEGB, 2 RIRs, and 1 genetically mixed bantam to keep me company.
