Hi all
I'm Troy. I haven't got any chickens yet, but I am hoping to get started soon. I'm thinking maybe 4 or so to begin. Right now, I'm trying to settle on coop or tractor. Any thoughts or pointers Ares always welcome.

Greetings from Kansas, Troy, and

! Great to have you here! Coop or tractor is tough decision with pros and cons for each. I like the security of the coop for the portability of the tractor. I think the biggest downside to the tractor is winterizing it - it you are planning keeping your bids into the cold weather, that is something to think about. Good luck to you and visit the BYC coop section.

I tend to think tractors aren't as safe from predators as coops.
