    My first attempt at a Chicken Tractor

    I was also thinking of using wire across the bottom to prevent predators from coming up under where it sits.

    Thank you. Some good facts to consider. So you think a more square coop part would be better? Maybe with the typical roof?

    Hi everyone, I am new here, so forgive me if posting this link is unacceptable. My adult daughter and her family are wanting chickens, and as I am somewhat handy she has asked me to build her a chicken tractor. She really likes this plan and purchased the details...
