Skythechickenman-- nice tractor-- that might work for my banty's that need a bit of space-- though, the plastic could be an issue in the cold, as suzyqlou mentioned.
Thanks for your suggestions bryan- I do know what tractors do, and their basics, but I also know that through trial and...
I'm going to read through all the posts here, but wanted to put out my question too-- I'm looking for written (photo too perhaps) plans for a simple, efficient chicken tractor that hubby can build. He needs a hobby that can provide a bit of income (I convinced him to leave his horrible night...

I've really only had 1 broody that we let go with eggs under her a few times.
They will come out to poop, after a long, long time. You WILL know when. Trust me. The volume and odor will tell you.
They will eat and drink, but not much.
First round with our banty frizzle/ showgirl-- we were...
On that note-- double yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All roosters have the potential to be "mean", when they are trying to defend territory and their flock.
My roosters have all been great- but we have no children, dogs, or other smaller-than-adult sized animals. A 5 year old is small enough to be percieved as a threat, in that they are the same...
I don't really have any words of advice, as I can't picture what I'd do in your situation.
I can tell YOU, that YOU are NOT a bad friend. A bad friend wouldn't care enough to seek out ways to work through this with her.
Unless someone is acting sick, I'd definitely get her back in with the others. Chickens act weird-- wait til they start laying!!!! They do run around and squawk, and I have a few that jump in and out of the nests, still hollering, facing all different ways.
All it takes is the wind...
Ooh.... I'll vouch for the shipping and fertility of these eggs!!!!
I'll be bidding/ buying within the next few weeks once we figure out our coop problem. I've lost 2 of my 3 beautiful NN crosses I hatched out from you last year to a predator I"m so glad I moved 1 of them in with...
No wrestlers or football teams in this area. Hockey and basketball. The high school in the town closest to me ( 10 miles) graduated NINE seniors this year 6 were girls. I'm in a very, very , very rural area

OK, I've been taking on so many extra shifts at work since missing a month in May for surgery,that I haven't been back here-- so if I missed any of your replies, I apologize. I have read them all just now, and want to thank you all for your input.
So... for right now, I have exactly 13 eggs in...
I'm not much of a creative mind, but I do want to add my 2 cents to the sizing-- the BYC University T's came in 4x, and the next line didn't. Though I fit a 3x, they shrink so much over time, they become unusable. My 4x BYC University T's ( of which I bought SEVEN) are well worn, logos...
