My Pvc Pipe Chicken Tractor

[JFire82]

Yesterday the chicken tractor was finally finished thanks to my boyfriend and some MillerLite. .. the girls seemed to like it❤. even used the swings.. now for this weather to cooperate... and for my water proof material to arrive which will replace the tarp... I'm so very happy of how it turned out.. tractor measurements are 10ftx5ftx3ft (at highest peek is 4ft), three roosting bars, and two swings.. wheels will be put on at a later date when the girls get bigger...

I'll bet they are happy with all the extra space!
Is this for full time residence?
What diameter PVC?..probably too small for roosting.
Is that plastic or metal mesh?

Oh, and... Welcome to BYC! @JFire82

It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

What waterproof material did you order? I've been looking for something too like that.

I ordered some favric that is waterproof and has a ten year warranty.. from Fabric Wholesale Direct.. its called OTTERTEX CANVAS .. i also ordered clips to just clip it into the pipe no sewing needed

Thank you! You'll have to take a pic of it when it arrives. I just checked and they have prints too!

Where did you find the water bottle end waterers? We could very much use something like that!
