Tractor plans

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
Please help! My husband has agreed to build me a chicken tractor, but he wants plans to go by. I have searched the Internet for several days but am having no luck finding tractor plans I like. I see great pictures of tractors but no plans. I am looking for a tractor that will house up to 4 chickens and have a yard with it. I am willing to purchase the plans, any suggestions on where I could find some?

Does he require PLANS, or just a drawing of what you want?  Find one you like in the coops section and show him the pic.  If that wont do, maybe you could ask the member who posted the pick you like to send you the measurements and you could make the drawing yourself.

 

Good Luck and welcome to BYC!

I think measurements and pictures would probably work.

If you search under my name, you should see a couple of my tractors. One is 4 x 12 and the other is 3 1/2' x 8. We have quit moving them around since we are up to 5 tractors now and have arranged them around a central 30x30 pen. We call it Chicken Town, LOL....
