One of the first questions you will (hopefully) ask yourself before you bring your chickens home is: Where should I put them and what will I put them in?
I definitely like the article. It contained good information on both sides of the debate. It relays a plain and simple message to anyone who is trying to decide which would be best for them and their lifestyle. Excellent layout for the Pros and Cons.
Very good article and gives a good, high-level comparison of tractors vs fixed coops. A couple of notes:
I move my tractor every two days rather than every day. The difference primarily is determined by the number of chickens and floor space of your tractor. When the grass grows back, it is actually greener/healthier than the surrounding grass.
Depending on your climate, it may be impractical to move your tractor in winter and you will need to park it for the winter. The pictured tractor would not be a great option for this, but there are other designs that work okay.
