Has anyone added on to Tractor?

[s6bee]

Well, the tractor ideas seemed like a good one at the time, but it's just not. It's heavy, a pain to move, etc. It's just too small since I was given more chickens then I ordered and I have one hen that is just kicking the crap out of the others. So, my husband asked if I heard of anyone adding on to the tractor? Has it been sucessful if you have?? I personally would rather try and get a shed to convert. ( I can get more birds too!

) but not sure if he'd go for that. I don't have pictures of my tractor but it's pretty basic and about 1.5' -2' off the ground.

thanks

If it were me, I'd just build a whole nother Real Coop, and save the tractor for use as hospital ward, isolation unit for new chickens, emergency space when you wind up with unexpectedly more chickens than the coop was supposed to hold, etc.... ALL of which functions you will probably need sooner or later

I have various standards for eggs. I think I'm going to look into building new.

I added a 4x8 run on the side of mine. It hangs from brackets and moves with the tractor. Works just fine.
