I have an ADOR door and really like it. I don't have electric on my chicken tractor, so being battery operated was important for me. It was super easy to install, I did it by myself (my first time building something). They may have an electric option, I do not know. If I had electricity I would...

Sylvester, thank you so much for the information, advice and words of encouragement. I did not know that about the SLW. My friend that has them has a very large area they free range and they are sweet. She has livestock guard dogs, so she does not have too many losses during the day and the...

Looks great!, how many chickens will you have in it? looks very spacious.

Thank you, bruceha2000. I thought the ramp was steep but they walk up and down without any problems. that is a good idea on the cinder block, had not thought of that. I am thinking I will need a temporary run for the new chicks while they grow out, and then I can add the run to the current set...

Hi all, I finished my chicken tractor a while ago, wanted to add the pics here. Dimensions are 3x5 for the main coop area, it is 2 stories with the roosts and an external nest box upstairs. Food, water and a dust box downstairs. I just expanded the run fromt he original 5x5 on the pictures, I...

I am doing something similar, a chicken tractor with a detachable run. I haven't started on the run yet, still trying to figure out the coop part. Would you mind sharing what is the design you will be following for the run? I am thinking of using cypress posts for the bottom, I got a good deal...

Thank you for the advice on the breeds. I don't think I would be able to free range them. Too many predators and I work full time. For now at least the plan is to keep them in the chicken tractor and move it every day. So it looks like the Hamburgs may not be a good fit. I am going to a chicken...

Hi, I looked at using pvc and even using pvc pipes to make a lightweight tractor, but after looking at the safety of pvc and the effect on the environment I am trying to minimize the use of it on my coop. I will still probably use some for automated watering and feeding. But I do worry about the...

@Free Feather Here is my original post with the sketches. Thank you for reading!

Forgot about the wheels. Here is the design I saw that I want to use: I am planning on 4 wheels and to move it myself. Getting the awn mower tractor out everyday to move them will not work. So the reason I am thinking on having pop doors on all 4 sides in the lower part is that then I can...

Thank you so much for all the good advice. I appreciate it! I think I can make the door for the next box in the front, and now I understand why I saw the doors swinging up instead of down: so it keeps the rain out. Duh! First time chicken owner, did not think of the fact that eggs have to be...

Hi, I having been reading and lurking on byc trying to come up with a plan for a chicken tractor. I will be a first time chicken owner this spring! Yay! I am in Roswell GA - hot summers, lots of rain and winds at times. Must have a moveable coop (Roswell regs), also looking for a moveable...
