Pictures of my chicken tractors

[Bellasmom]

This the first one before paint.

After paint and with wire

The beginning of the new one

Almost done

The girls having a talk about WHO was moving in when it was done, the chicken bottom in the front is the one who moved in!

Tomorrow I will get a picture of the finished product. Maybell has moved in and is very happy with the results.

Seriously, great job.

I don't think that tractor gonna be big enough for that red rooster, course maybe he's a cull.

Thanks everyone!

The "rooster" is actually my game hen Gladys!

She's the reason there are 2 tractors!

They get along great now when they are free ranging.

We don't have plans, the first one is built loosely on one at a site called the Confederate somebody's site. The second one he built from looking at pictures. I have one of those pondering, engineering type of husbands who used to be a machinist and works with computers now. He's the bomb!

We have 25.00 in the first one and around 50 in the newest. We scavenged from around here since we've done several home projects over the last few years. We store 2x4s and such. When the rain stops I will get a picture of the newest one with it's scavenged roof. He cut the top off the old dog hut and put it on, shingles and all!

I tried to find the plans for the first one and didn't have any luck! I deleted the bookmark, I guess thinking we wouldn't need anymore.

I do believe the red roo that's been mentioned is wearing jeans shorts.

I'm working on an A-frame tractor myself right now, so it's nice to see yours.
(nice!)
Thanks!
