Our first chicken tractor (pics)

Well here is our first chicken tractor. Constructive criticism appreciated. It is 12' long by 4' wide at the base. The covered area is 4' long. I plan on housing 5-6 chickens in it.

After I took the pictures my husband added some wheels at the covered end, and two pull handles.

I think it looks great! Gonna come to my place now and build me one?

5 to 6 is a good number for that size. You could have even more if they are bantams.

looks Great, nice and light. I made mine on the heavy side, Hard to move!


Keep up the good work!

Dangerouschicken,

Would you pay for the plane flight

? My husband has never been to the West Coast, and I have only been to LA for business. He keeps talking about visiting Oregon since his buddy from basic training lives there (don't ask me where, I forget).

Now what did I get myself into?

Just kiddin'

Oregon is the most beautiful place I have ever been to, and I have lived all over the world. I was born and raised here, though, and I would never again live any place else. YAY OREGON!

We pass a lot of laws to try to keep urban sprawl from taking over the gorgeous landscape. We even had a governor say here once, "Come visit, Just don't stay."
