    New Covered Chicken Tractor Started

    Started the construction on a 12'x 4' Chicken Tractor with a 4'x4' coop this weekend. I'm building it as two modules, the run frame and the coop. I have detailed photos of the build process but will only post a few for now. There will be more as the siding, wire, and roof panels are added...

    This is a 6x12 enclosed aluminum trailer. These are older pictures, but you get the general idea and I will post updated pictures over time. There is reflective insulation in the walls and on the ceiling.

    I'm looking at designs for chicken tractors, and want to make something mobile and suitable for laying hens which I don’t have to muck out. Does anyone have any experience in using hardware cloth floors in cold/wet climates? I’m thinking a Suscovich style tractor with a raised and enclosed...

    Portable quail hutch? Opinions please.

    I have chickens and want to try quail. I'm starting fresh and have a blank slate. I'm seeing a lot of static hutches. I was leaning towards a tractor to spread the manure. The tractor would have to be moved to disperse the goodness. I'm not a big fan of shoveling ... good fertilizer...

    Chicken Tractor Conversion

    After purchasing a wonderful chicken tractor made by a local craftsman, I was bothered by the fact that the thing sat on the ground. Due to options that I asked for it was too heavy for me and DH to move without using a (real) tractor. Even though it is made of treated wood I couldn't stand...

    Hello Everyone, A few years ago, my husband built the A-frame coop designed by Harvey Ussery. We were so excited because it was supposedly mobile and designed for the long term. Well, as with many mobile coop designs, they aren't built for a property on a slope. It was next to impossible to...
