MINI TRACTOR !!!! HEHEH

A turtle tractor - cool! It's the right shape, but I think it's too small for 2 standard size hens - maybe a couple of banties?

The measurements are 39.5"L x 19"W x 16"H and the 39" includes the enclosed area. Two large hens would barely be able to move around in there.

true maybe for bantys !!!

but i thought wow $59.99 is not bad at all.

I think it would be excellent for baby chicks until they can "graduate" to the coop, or even for a broody hen and her babies.

Looks like an awesome home for older chicks. I may have to get one in the spring!

I wouldn't even confine a turtle in that thing, much less a chicken. Good scale model for a properly sized tractor tho.

My Pet Chicken has one of those for broody hens, but it retails for $99 there. Same exact thing. They were out of stock when my girls went broody and I didn't want to pay that much anyway so I just built a a cheap version of it myself. It worked beautifully. Before I sold it, I hatched out 5 ducklings and 5 mixed breed chicks. What fun!

Here's a picture of my redneck version, complete with plywood siding and a roll back hardware cloth door "latched" with old bricks:

Here are the cuties that I hatched out using the broody hut:

My Silkie mix hen went broody after laying her first egg, so I borrowed some of my friend's duck eggs for her to sit on. She was a fantastic ducky mama!

Wow yea even a Broody Hen would be good in that

then when the chicks hatch and what not , they will have their own room to move and still be save !!

It doesn't have wire on the bottom so you'd want to be careful if you live in an area that has predators who are likely to dig under.
