Raise the flap to access the feed trough. One trough is made of a gutter, this one is from 4" pvc that i cut down. I prefer the gutter as it is easier to slide and to fill. There is 2"x4" welded wire looped over to trough to keep chickens out of the feed.

An outside view of the hoop tractor. The flap for the feed trough is visible lower right. This photo is before i attached a permanent latch to the flap. a rock was initially used to block the flap

The corner braces support 5 gallon water buckets with drinker cups. The broilers had no issue figuring them out and the pair of buckets lasted about 2 day as long as it wasnt too hot.

The inside of the coop (sorry for the mess, this was the day after the CX broilers were processed and I was just getting ready to clean it out) There is a brace bar in the middle and you can see the slide out feed trough on the end

The back has removable wheels that slide onto carriage bolts. This allows me to use one set of wheels on multiple tractors (currently have 2)and allows the frame to sit flush on the ground.

My home built hoop house that houses about 20-25 Broilers. 6' x 10' Base is made of pressure treated 2x4, the ends are 1/2" plywood painted with oil barn paint. The hoops are 1/2" EMT conduit and the covering is 1/2" hardware cloth and an 8x10 light duty tarp
