Hi all
I have just introduced myself and came here to ask some help to find a tractor to suit my special needs.
1. I live in a farm with lots of domestic and wild animals ranging free. I meant lots, from cats, dogs, foxes, opossums, large lizards (8 pounds ), rats, hawks and so on.
2. We house some abandoned animals in large cages , to protect then against predators. So, small birds live in this aviaryes near our house, to prevent it being predated.
3. We just got some chicks and I would to raise it on tractors, since we have lots of space with edible grass and I think it would be the simplest way to keep this birds with low maintenance.
4. I have lots of wood to construct the tractors and employees to construct and maintain, clean and operate it on a daily basis.
5. I would like to find a tractor design that can:
A. Be small and easily carried about.
B. Maintain 10 chickens (I prefer to use small designs and build new tractors if needed)
C. Protect birds from LOTS of sun and rain (it's not cold here)
D. Protect birds from eventual attack from large lizards and hawks, cats and dogs (I mean just sneaky attacks, when there's no one seeing)
E. Offer some place to birds lay it's eggs
F. Make easy to capture birds whenever necessary, with small chance of they fleeing during it's capture.
Would.you guys point me in a good direction ?
I mean, I'm inclined to construct a tractor with triangular section, made of wood and covered in metal mesh.
Bit I'm not sure about the best design to suit my needs.
Thanks!!
Cheers!
