This is BEAUTIFUL!! So you just use it to get them in the yard during the day and let them in their hen house at night?

Thanks! Yes, I let them do their egg-laying in the morning and then pasture them in the afternoon then back to the house before nightfall. Works great!

I am going to have DH do this ASAP!! For your hen house, it looks like you have a little yard for them attached to it. Can they get into their house from their little pen? If so, can you post a pic? I think my hen house is similar to yours and would love to see how it works since this is my first time

We do have a run surrounding our coop. They can get into their house from the run, but not from the chicken tractor (is that what you were asking?). For the chicken tractor, we have to open the "people door" on the left side of the coop and push the tractor up to meet the door and then usher then into the tractor from the run. Here's a picture of what I think you may be asking, if not , let me know! Oh, my "photos" page has lots of different views of our coop and run as well. Feel free to look!

Here's the link to my chicken tractor/forager page where you can see other pics of the coop/run/tractor:
