Hello! I live in Northern MN and looking to possibly build a tractor large enough to double as a winter run. I understand tractors are best if built small and light for easy moving, but do you think it's possible to built around a 10x20 enclosed run and move it with a utv? I'm hoping that's large enough for 12 hens for the winter in a stationary location and then use it more like a tractor during summer months to live every few days through our field. Seems that that size is at least above the "minimum recommendations," but my goal is a high quality life for these birds so the more space the better.
I'm also planning to build a mobile coop on top of an old trailer so I can roll that up next to the tractor/run and also love it around and put it in the pole barn during those nasty -30 below winter nights for extra protection.
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks so much!
