Chicken Tractor

[JValera]

Hi guys and ladies

I'm new on this hooby... sorry to bother you , but I need you answer my 2 questions :

I will have 200 chicks hen layers to have end 3er weeks old .

I'm thinking to put that 200 chicks on 8 chicken tractors .... 25 chicks on each tractor of 10 feet by 6 feet

# 1 ...... Can I leave them on each chicken tractor to start the 4th week old to 14 week end old ??

# 2 .... Every how many days I will have to move each chicken tractor ??

Thank you a lot

Regards and Happy Merry Christmas

Depending on where you are located you probably Will need to check your government policies to check how many your allowed to have without Getting your chicken farming license thing.
Where I am I can only have 99 chickens without getting one\
You should look into that before doing this math
Unless you want to get a license/permit thing

people w/cx move them several times a day.. it depends on how much feed you want them to get from pasture and how decimated you want the plot to be...layers should have more room than cx, because they are more active.... might have a lot of fighting by the time they get 14wks
