tractor blew over

[t0m]

I made a 4'x4'x10' tractor cage-style from 1/2" EMT and wire fencing, attached with zip ties. It's very light.

So light that yesterday it blew over in a storm! Fortunately we were home at the time and heard them clucking. It was chucking it down and they looked very bedraggled. I herded them back in and they took shelter once again.

I now have it safely tied down with tent pegs!

Light is never a bonus when in a wind storm..........

I deliberately designed it to be light so that I could move it around. I was inspired by Omelay. But I forgot that he said to tether it.

The Mrs is not too keen on the whole tractor thing. My chickens are pasture raised and big diggers! I am looking into putting up an electric fence and penning them behind the garage where they can destroy the lawn without it being visible from the house.
