How to get them out of the tractor?

[BeardedChick]

I am almost finished building a crazzzzzy turkey tractor for my poults. It's 8' long by 4' wide, made out of old recycled skis, recycled lumber, and chicken wire. What I am wondering about is how to get them out of there at the end of the day. Is there an easy way?

Make a long L shaped pole and reach in and pull/herd them out. Maybe get a 10 foot pvc tube and a 3foot piece and use a corner connector to connect them. Or feed it thru the other end and gently push or direct them out.

Won't they just kinda come out on their own? (probably a dumb question)

Good idea with the pole, thanks.

Adam, the way it usually works - all but one will come out.

I made mine were you can open both ends
the front and the house end

but mine was just a $10 tractor though

I like that tractor, lost. Is it easy to move around?

Did you build it yourself?

I use a fishing net with small holes so they can't stick their heads through.

It works like a charm. I tired the wire hook method. It was a pain in da booty.

And the net helps when herding them around since it will give you more reach. Good Luck
