    ISO HEAVY DUTY wheel kit in Tennessee

    After years of using a homemade wheel kit we think we found one better for our current needs. We are looking to LOCALLY buy an Eggcart'n or something similar for our 9x9 coop. Hoping to keep it in a 40 mile radius of Nashville, TN. TIA! https://eggcartnwheelliftkit.com/wheel-lift-kit/

    Where to attach feed troughs to a Salatin-style chicken tractor

    Has anyone built a Salatin-style chicken tractor for meat birds/cornish cross, who could share photos of where/how they attached the feeders? I am planning to run the water cup system down one side fed by a 5-gallon bucket, and I'm trying to figure out where to put the feeders where they'll be...

    Help us choose a coop and run!

    We are starting our backyard flock this year with 7 chicks. We live on 1.6 acres of fairly flat land, probably half that in the backyard. We only have neighbors on our left, but they let their dogs out and they often come visit my backyard. I also have two dogs that will either love protecting...

    Building a Quail Tractor Using Modified Chicken Tractor Builds

    I have a backyard flock of chickens that are fenced in with two 100ft Premier1 PoultryNet fences put together. After a few months, I've had no predator issues and still have all 20+ laying hens even with leaving the door of the movable coop (ChickShaw) open every night. We love all the chicken...

    Four week olds broilers, enjoying the fresh air and grass under their feet. They have learned to walk up the ramp. Good exercise for those drumsticks!

    Goose tractor? Does this look safe?

    My dad built my goslings a tractor today since they outgrew the brooder, it has an attached house for them and tarp for a roof. I'm probably just paranoid but they're outside in it for the night and I'm just worried how safe they'll be. I think it's chicken wire screwed in with some around the...

    Temporary chicken pen progress

    I'm building a temporary pen in a shady corner next to the house. It'll house our 4 chickens temporarily while I build them a bigger/better home, and ultimately I'll just use it as a chicken tractor. It's sort of inpired by this thing, but I made it a bit wider and taller...

    Summer tractor design for 18 layers

    I'm looking for design help. We currently have a fixed coop, but I want to make a tractor so we can move our chickens around to greener pastures when it's warm enough. We will use electric poultry netting for the run (and let them free range when they're far enough away from the lead paint...)...

    Chickens Again!

    Three years ago we moved right across Canada from Victoria BC to Saint John NB. I could not take my beloved chickens with me so re-homed them with a friend of a friend that would love them as much as I. But was time went on I realized I missed my chickens, so this summer we broke down and went...

    Run to Outdoor Brooder Conversion

    The only accurate word to describe this build is "Rednecked" -- but that's fine because while I was born a Yankee, rural North Carolina is where I really belong. I was given a group of 4-week-old chicks who came with some equipment, including a coop that was a repurposed temporary run from...

    Chicken coops in Vermont

    Hi there! We just got our first 8 chicks yesterday and I am working on planning our coop. We live in Vermont on 5 acres near Mt. Mansfield so it gets really cold and we have everything from fox to bear regularly in our yard. My biggest concern are bears. We have acreage but most of it is wooded...

    Meat pheasants?

    I am thinking about raising meat chickens sometime in the future (not sure when yet) and my brother mentioned that he wants to grow meat pheasants...is that a thing? If so, could they be raised with my meat chickens? And what is their butchering age? Like, could they be butchered at the same...

    The Triangle Coop

    This was my first coop, made in 2012. It can comfortably hold six standard-sized chickens. We actually got this idea online, but I don't remember where. This one is pretty hard to measure and describe, but because I didn't take pictures during the construction, it will have to do. At first we...

    Eglu run bedding options?

    We have 5 Orpingtons in an eglu coop with run. We got the option with wheels to make it a tractor style thinking that if we moved it that our grass could survive... with a 1x/week move our grass is really struggling not to mention I don’t want their living conditions to be poor. I could use some...
