Chicken Tractor Question

[FlCountryGirl]

Hi all, we're building an A-frame chicken tractor for our 15 chicks coming next month and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long the tractor should be left in one area before being moved to another?

Bump!

my tractor has been in the same spot for about 3 or 4 evenings. My flock is 8 strong (3-5weeks old)and i already think its time to move! I only put them in the tractor for a few hours in the evening.

Our grass usually does the best if we move it every day.

My 2 girls can mow down a good section of grass everyday...I don't like them to 'break' the ground so when I am tractoring them..I move them everyday...they love it and it makes for an easy clean up.

Here is ours it is about 8 ft long, but the plans said you can change the length by changing board sizehttps://www.backyardchickens.com/t/768946/our-finished-tractor#post_10955904

Gotcha so for 15 birds I should probably move it everyday then?
