We have .37 acre in Nampa, ID. It gets cold but nothing crazy (I'm from Alaska so my crazy is really crazy). We have a section of yard that's perfect for a coop and run and we have an old 8x13 dog kennel we are converting to the run, but I was thinking for all but the coldest months a tractor would be great. Any thoughts on if this is kind of too much or anything?
Advice on how long each day for the tractor so they don't ruin the yard?
Also how would you recommend getting the girls from the tractor back to the coop? I'm afraid our yard isn't big enough to do only a tractor and I'm afraid of the smell of only a stationary run and coop.
