Well as the thread title suggests I spent most of my weekend building some new and improved chicken tractors for my laying hens that will be arriving on the 5th of february. 25 buff orpingtons and 25 brown sexlinks. Anyway they are loosely based on john suskovich's meat bird tractors only with more square footage. They are 150 sq ft and with 25 hens a piece that is 6 sqft per chicken. A little overkill but i like my laying hens to have plenty of room to roam and this makes it to where I only have to move them every other day. Ok here is pictures and more to come when I get them from my wife. My camera is broken on my phone.
Ok so I cant get pictures to upload. Signal sucks here. So I will upload them when I get to work with their wifi.
The ones made from cattle panel are the new ones and the one built like a spanish fort is the old on (it has tarps on it). I will be using the same cam locking wheels on the new ones. I should be able to finish them this weekend so look for more pictures in the coming days so long as the rain holds off!
