New to The forum and new to chickens. Just built a 4x10 chicken tractor and my family is very excited. I picked up a Buff Orpington, and a Speckled Sussex today and we're getting a Barred Rock this weekend. All are about 6 weeks old. I've been doing a lot of reading through the forum for coop design, bedding, feeding and everything else I could think of so thanks for the information overload :). Anyhow, here is a picture of my new tractor (Most of the materials was leftover from my backyard remodel).

Well, I picked them up 3 hrs ago and place them in the run. They have yet to figure out how to climb the ramp. I also have a Chicken Gaurd automatic door to open and close at dusk and dawn. After they figure things out I hope to let them free range in the backyard.

You may have to place then up on the roost tonight...to show them where they belong/are suppose to sleep.
