Not too much into tractors, but you did a great job on it.

The black n white feeder is material I had. I used the black waste water pipe because the radii are better than white pvc, longer smoother. The cap on the top is screw plug. The cap on the bottom is just a short piece of pipe w/ a cap. i just put tht on when it is raining, when the girls are locked up to keeps pests out and when they have made a mess and I want them to eat it off the ground. I might make a cap for the water also. That way I can cap the water when i move the tractor instead of taking them down.

I say, Very well done.
We are In the process of building another coop
but now maybe a chicken tractor.

I have dimensioned drawings for my tractor if you are interested. I made a few impovement and design changes (mistakes) during the build. I might do revisions to my drawings since i am a mech eng. but currently stuck working at a civil firm. I miss my old solid modeling software.

PNE123 great idea. I Took a copy of your design and will check if my DH
thinks we can have this as our property is rather hilly,We have seen others before but much to small.


we have never thought a tractor would do. But this one
caught my eye its seems to be easy to clean,
I lke the coop top and the run top on hinges.

you put a lot of thought and attention to detail into this. It shows. Very smart design and lucky hens that get to live in there!
