...ago! Now I have an acre, and I'm in a chicken ok area! I'm really wanting to keep everything as cheap as possible, so looking at making a pallet tractor. I like the idea of the being able to move the girls all over the yard. But can't let them free roam, so tractor seems the logical way to...

This was the first time either of us had built a door, but given our experience in...

Imma cheapskate. But it also is environmentally friendly I guess.
