large coop n' run for winter and tractor for summer???

[PurplePoppiPpl]

i would like to free range my chickens during the summer in a tractor, but it wouldnt be big enough or warm enough in for the winter... in the winter i would like to keep them in a coop, but i have read that you shouldnt move a flock unless you need to.
would this be a bad idea or has anyone done this or believes it would work?????

Why wouldn't it work? I don't know who told you that you shouldn't move a flock, but that isn't true. I would just build them a big sturdy coop and let them out to free range if it were me. Chickens do fine in freezing temperatures. They have been surviving for thousands of years, a little cold or a move isn't going to hurt them.

I currently raise about 100 chickens on pasture all free range and my layers don't have enough room in their summer coop over winter so I made a 20x20 coop upstairs in our bank barn. Works great only when you move the birds from fall to winter coop keep them in for a couple dYs depending on the amount of room they have. But if you are able to just build one movable nice coop then you can park it out of the wind for the winter and your chickens would do fine too.
