My Banty Tractor Not too long ago, I saw an ad on Craigslist.com for 3 bantams for sale. I sent that person an email and I got started on a coop for them. I was getting 2 hens and 1 rooster. The dimensions of the coop are 5 ft tall at the peak of the roof, 3 ft wide, and 5 ft long. This...

Recycled Rabbit Hutch Chicken Tractor When it was used as a brooder it had six chicks in it. If it was for a fulltime coop, it would hold only two bantams comfortably. Pictured here are my Leghorn hybrid and my Barred Rock for chicken scale. However, my chickens a regular coop, seen...

My Temporary Tractor Hi, thought I might in introduce myself. I am new to chickens. My twins brought home 2 from the first grade. I don't know what kind they are. Tyson gave a bunch of eggs and incubators to the first grade to hatch as a project. My tractor/brooder is a scavenged shopping...

My version of a chicken tractor is basically an open-bottomed movable pen that houses chickens. We use our chicken tractors to raise meat birds (Cornish-X broilers). I have a few criteria for our tractor design. First, my pregnant wife must be able to move it easily. Second, it must hug the...

My Chicken Tractor and Coop June / July 2009 I purchased a load of cedar slabwood (that's what's left over of the tree once they make all the "good" lumber out of it that they can get) for $15 (for a huge flatbed load). Included in it were some very rough (in various condition) 2 x 2's that I...

A Bayou Swamp Coop Hey guys, I just finished my coop design and I am excited to show you. And I want to give credit to Jarhead for the ideas. I really liked his plans and modified them a little to get the coop I was shooting for. As you can see it is a simple 2x4 and 2x3 construction along with...

HENSPA CHICKEN COOP 2007 2011 Well I guess you could say I caught the fever. More chickens, means more space. I don't move the Henspa hardly anymore. Makes it easy to clean the deep litter method, when I need to though. The fence is easy to move if I need to. Love my girls still and...

The Portable Coop! I wanted to make a portable Coop that we could move around the property so that the chickens would have fresh ground to live on every few days. I started construction in our small one stall garage out in the shop. We only plan for it to house a maximum of 5-6 standard...
