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.
The door is made from the bottom of an old wood screen door that i had laying around. The door on my other tractor is made from the square trimmed from the door hole. I dont care for that one because it is flimsy and warped so it it needs some work. This door is sturdy
Here is the trough pulled out for filling.

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
