30 chickens and 6 turkeys coming soon!

[jgagnon]

OK so I need a little advice on building an appropriate tractor for... 30 cornish giants and 6 turkeys. I really want them to be partially pasture fed but I just cant figure out how to build a mobile unit that large that I alone can move every day. Maybe its just not possible. You tell me Please. My husband isnt very pleased with my want to pasture feed them. He figures we should stick them in the shed and build a small stationary outdoor area they can move about in connected to the shed. I would like a more natural approach. Any suggestions?

I'm building in this style for coop/run # 4 but it will be permanent, not movable. Our main stationary run was done with this concept, and we love it!

Hope this is some help!
