My very first Chicken Tractor!!***** DONE!!!*****

well ive been reading posts on tractors and coups and runs and have started building my own tractor this past weekend. Its close to done and ill post pictures of it when it is finished, but here is its humble beginings....

this is the first of the framework, i used treated 2 by 4s for the skids and rounded them down, its going to be 4ft by 6ft by 3 ft high




adding more of the frame and seeing where i want to make some changes already......am always coming up with new ideas



ok. so i wanted to change the little coope area, making it slanted and also taking out the middle brace on the bottom, i just moved it up to support the floor of the little coop



getting LOTS closer to finished!!!



the farther along i am getting the more i see things i will do differently with the next one. im planing on building at least 2, the next one will be 4 by 8. The only new wood so far are the skids, all the rest is recycled from other projects and friends.

have a wonderfull day

ITS DONE ....im so happy, and i think it turned out great!!! Here are a few pics



the top of the roof opens up to alow me access to the coupe area. On the side there the bottom board is hinged so it flips up, that way i can just push the shavings and poopies out into a wheel barrel or bucket



now that it is finished i see a few things differently for the next one i want to do.


OHhhh here are some pictures of a few of my *helpers*





have a great day everyone
