    I've got the basics covered except maybe if a bear tried to get the chickens, but I think I'll get gold eggs before that happens in Sacramento. I'm thinking of putting a solar powered light with a 1 hour timer in the roost as I've noticed some of the chickens hanging outside way after it's...

    Chicken Tractor

    I want to add wheels but how?

    I would but the ends of it are doors. So it has to be off the sides. The other thought is to use PVC make a axle underneath on end.

    Floor Plug???? Yea' or Nea'

    A drain would make it a lot easier I'd suggest this type Then you could use a drainage piping and use direct where the water goes if you hose it out or just stick a bucket under it. If your worried about something coming through the drain you could put a screw on cap/plug on the end or a 45...
