My chicken tractor coop build

[Iulik]

Please don't mind the mess, we are fortunate enough to still work so did not have a lot of time to cleanup between the job and building it, but i will get to it, eventually Also house exterior is work in progress current soffit is temporary
If anyone is interested in any details or close up pics let me know.
Floor is 2x6 beams on double 2x6 ends that are held with joist hangers, roof is just glued nailed and or screwed

Pretty cool.
How many birds will you keep?
Can't wait to see it finished and 'on the move'(a video would be great!)

You can see the red muscle in the back in the second photo

That's not a tractor, it's a lawnmower does it even have a hitch?

no, not that one you can see it better in these pictures

Spent most of the day yesterday cutting and notching the poles, took way more time than i expected, it will rain today so maybe i can get them all standing tomorrow and finish the main frame, and try to move it after that, see if it will not fall apart

Roof is still not secured, just set it so hawks don't attack and they can stay with cover when it rains, i feel like it will never stop raining..

A little more updates, i'm moving slower than i though, chickens spend the whole day inside already

How was it to move?

 

[aart]

Its not too bad, its a pretty big tractor though, i raised the front so i get less resistance when i moved it to the pasture, but now its pretty easy, grass is pretty slippery

Do keep us updated here.
Enjoy your chickens!
