In this case, I think months would be the better choice of words. A Florida summer (season) is much longer than a North Dakota summer and vice versa for the winter (season)."how many seasons/months

I don't follow.I'm now understanding why I didn't have much luck asking for help about chicken tractors here, since it seems this is pretty biased towards coops.
Per this poll, most people keep their chickens in a coop & run (32.5%). Hence why that was the only advice I received.I don't follow.
I've seen lots of tips on tractors. Keep looking.Per this poll, most people keep their chickens in a coop & run (32.5%). Hence why that was the only advice I received.
I think people with tractors would be voting "My flock is kept in a secure house and run substantially all day, every day" with the understanding that the tractor is their secure 'house and run.'Per this poll, most people keep their chickens in a coop & run (32.5%). Hence why that was the only advice I received.
Odd, I thought you got good advice about chicken tractors, and you set forth very good reasons why a tractor is best suited to your needs, in spite of the massive acreage you have available and the very small flock you wanted to keep. an 8x8 or perhaps 8x12 hoop coop style chicken tractor with a good heavy base so you can move it with your tractor across your 10-13 acres seems just the thing. Relatively inexpensive, no need for a floor, plenty of ventilation in your hot moist climate.I'm now understanding why I didn't have much luck asking for help about chicken tractors here, since it seems this is pretty biased towards coops.
They are your best protection, foxes and coons aren't likely to come in too close with dogs in the yard.My dogs also go out often and patrol the yard.
Some protection but foxes and coons will work around dogs. My sister and friends have lost garden and chickens to both, despite the help of dogs out often.They are your best protection, foxes and coons aren't likely to come in too close with dogs in the yard.
The last house we sold had a .29 acre lot. Our current house has 10.1 acres. The zoning where we live is based on density, not lot size. You could have a subdivision zoned for 5 acre density, but the lots themselves could be 1/2 acre with 4.5 acres of common space. So, odd-sized lots is not uncommon!1/3 acre back yard??? That's a rarity. We had an apartment, then a house on 1/5th acre., then an apartment, then a house on one acre, and now we have 30. But zoning usually puts houses on 1/4, 1/5th, 1/8th, with the majority being back yard (well, not on 1/8th acre lots, those are "zero lot line". 1/3 acre back yard, so you have 1/2 acre total???
