  1. The Dangers of a Tractor-style Coop

    The Dangers of a Tractor-style Coop

    This was my flock before yesterday. Now I've got three dead chickens and two injured. If it had been predators, I could understand. If it had been my own mistake, I'd be upset but it would make sense. No, my chickens were killed by something simple and that we never saw coming. My...

    Coop plus tractor with laying boxes?

    Hello! I'm planning to purchase 6-8 chicks in the next month or so and have questions about my potential home for them. A friend of mine has an unused coop kit that he's gifting me in exchange for eggs in the future, which is convenient. I'd love to let the chickens free-range (as the previous...

    Hybrid coop: tractor with deep Deep litter,

    Hey all, so I've been unsuccessful in finding a whole lot of discussion besides just disjointed musings on someone combining a tractor with deep litter. Important points and needs: :loveI like the chicksaw 2.0 design by Justin Rhodes but it's pretty easily torn up by all the fun wildlife out...

    Which prefab tractor? Money is no object.

    My daughter received 6 chicks for her birthday. We've got about three weeks until we are going to need to move them outside. I'm thinking a tractor is the ideal way to go. We have plenty of land (12 acres), but LOTS of predators including weasels. I want the very best Fort Knox of chicken...

    Yellawood Coop?

    Hello, we are about to build a chicken tractor to hold 4-6 chickens. Has anyone out there ever tried using the Yellawood plans? We’ve looked at so many pics of chicken tractors online, it’s so hard to figure out a good design. Thanks for your help and input...

    Chicken Tractor ideas

    We are thinking of a chicken tractor for our meat birds when we get them and moving it around our horse pasture near our house. Hoping I can get people to show us what they have and use for this. Thank you ahead of time for your input.

    Industrial Grade Chicken Tractor

    A couple years ago i set out to build a heavy duty chicken tractor out of as much reclaimed material as possible. I borrowed some ideas from the internet and patched together a heavy duty tractor, emphasis on "heavy". I just posted a vid on YouTube if you want to check it out. Just search...

    The wife received 10 chicks from our daughter on Mothers Day 2013, it was so fun that Pam bought ten more. Oh boy, the start of a very busy summer. We considered building one of the great chicken coop/ tractors we've seen here on BYC. But we had most of the items already so we got started. Built...

    Waddle In Duck Tractor

    This duck house is designed for summer use in WI. I house the ducks elsewhere in the winter. We have a dog who keeps predators out of our yard, so it is not predator proof. However, I do include options for making it predator proof. It folds up for easy storage when you remove the end pieces. If...

    This story starts with a phone call from the wife; says the store has chicks. She and the kids bring home six. Two days later, we lost one; and another trip to the store. Somehow one replacement becomes five additional new chicks. Wow, now 10 chicks and not even a box to keep them in. My first...

    My Chicken Tractor Designed By Me Built By My Hubby

    This is a Queengoddess one-of-a-kind chicken tractor! I drew the design myself and my husband went to work building it. I love, love, LOVE how well it turned out. It is 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. The chicken "run" area is 4 feet tall. I have a nesting box area that sticks out the back (you can...

    Black Canyon Tractor Coop

    Here is my first attempt at designing and building a chicken coop. It was originally for 5 or 6 hens but should handle up to 8 comfortably. I wasn't sure what I wanted when I started because I have never had chickens before. We live in a country neighborhood on almost 3 acres, so I knew that I...

    Lazy Lane Tractor Coop

    This is about 4x7 ft. It is on slides so they can move it around the yard. It has 4 egg boxes that can be acessed from the back, and one side opens up all the way so you can clean it out.

    Here she is, the work is complete...well we do need to paint it, maybe. I really want to paint a silhouette of a chicken or rooster on the sides of the hen house! I installed roosts yesterday and covered the floor with pine shavings to make them nice and comfy, and also dry out the poop (think...
