Hatching
Just finished building a chicken tractor for our 6 new hens (4 easter eggers and 2 barred rocks). Didn't follow a plan, but definitely was inspired by many videos on YouTube. The run is 44 sq ft and the coop floor is 18 sq ft not including the two nesting boxes. I added doors all over this thing, with a big 2'x4' trap door on top of run as well as a 2'x2' door on side of run. Big main door to the coop allows easy access and we also have a door to access just the boxes and another door to access feeder and waterer system. Have a trapdoor in floor of coop with a gang plank I can lift at night. The wheels are purchased from Egg Cart'n and come with a dolly on wheels. This thing is super heavy, so I appreciate how extra built out the wheel kit is. I also insulated the walls and the "attic" and made sure to give them a lot of ventilation. The girls have been out for three days/nights now and are loving it!
