OK, the coop is done, and the girls want some fresh grass and bugs. So I'm thinking about tractor designs and I have some total newbie questions:
1.) Do you put wire on the bottom of the tractor? A wire floor?
2.) How do you get the girls from coop to tractor? I envision walking with them to the tractor, luring them with treats. I also envision them scattering off and becoming wild birds that I'll never catch again. The other silly picture in my head, is me pushing my tractor back to the coop with the girls walking along in the tractor as I go. Which is not working for me if it has a wire floor.
How do these things work??!
And, have you SEEN this Chicken Tractor system? Amazing: http://lemoncraft.wordpress.com/2010/02/17/chicken-tractor/
