First move of the mobile chicken coop with Farmall H

and he is smart

[CircleOneCenter]

Why don't they just put the chickens in the red house so they don't have to be dragged while the coop is moving? Geez, what happened to ordinary common sense?

[tymawr101]

how do you build that run wat materials ?? thanks.

[Farmallbarn]

Very nice coop and H Farmall. How many chickens live in it?

[yiuopal]

this is one awesome chicken coupe you had built!!! i really like it - just seems like it is a very difficult project to tackle!

[countrymankdx200]

hey man i like that farmall tractor

[Brant1A]

one piece of advice I could offer is to close the door on the coop at night after they have roosted. Then in the morning you can move it without fear of running over chickens and then simply open the door to the new pasture. You've probably figured that out by now though. Good looking project!

Great design!!!!!!

Cool! Never heard of this before. Great clip.

btw...I didn't know scenery like this still exists. Looks like a Norman Rockwell rendering of Heaven.

[laughmaster7]

[jellofast]

[sugumargovinda]

I never knew a tracker engine can sound this sexy! What make/model is it?

[Basherraa]

That's an awseome chicken coop, How did you make the chicken run . I'd love to make a smaller one for 6 chickens. If you have time would , do say :)

[FarmInvention2009]

[tanatribe]

what kind of mesh do you have?

[bm5447]

That is very cool! Great job!

[jeang13]

nice bod.

[ncguy27215]

very true.

[catdreaminginthesun]

awesome coop..did you build the little house too?

[amosunknown]

Works better if you move it at night once the chickens have roosted.... lol.

nice set up!

[dogpup23]

awesome!

how many chickens can it hold?

[ninyae]

Now that's a chicken tractor!

[debrandom]

I am going to show my hubby this. We've seen several movable coop designs for small flocks but we wondered what we would do if we eventually have a greater number of birds.

[ChazWeisbeck]

very nice. im going to began to build mine. i have 7 baby chicks who soon will need a coop.

[whiningpuker]

Hey. NICE setup. How did you build the run? PVC? Do you have plans for this thing???

[Farmall504]

Yeah, the run is 1/2" pvc arches with 2" x 60" chicken wire over it. Welded wire on the ends and along the bottom for stiffening and predator protection. I don't have any plans. It was a make it up as you go project, but if you give me your e-mail I would be happy to send you my construction pics.

[dionysusstar]

Neat set up. Thanks for posting.

[ForTheRecord101]

Great set up! But it seems you must pull the coop straight forward or it would damage the cage/wooden coop connection. In fact, it seems the only direction you can go is straight forward. How do you manage to turn it around? Do you first seperate the wooden structure from the cage, or, is the cage on some type of roller system?

[Farmall504]

Straight ahead is the only direction I can go when the two pieces are coupled together. I have it set up in a long field, it takes two weeks to get from one end to the other, 25 feet at a time. Once I get to the end, I unhook the "yard" from the rear hitch on the wagon frame and take both pieces seperately back to the other end of the field. Then I reposition them for another "swath" down through the field. The yard skids along on a wooden frame.

[abluechipstock]

awesome coop dude, wish i had one like that!

[Farmall504]

You should build one. I used a flat hay wagon and framed a building on the bed. It was a fun project. The kids loved it.

[Tarodin1980]

Aah! Interesting! Who says chickens aren't smart?!

[Tarodin1980]

Interesting set up! I always move mine when the chickens are still inside the coop (instead of the run) in the morning, or after they've gone to roost at night. That way, no trapped chicken toes! However, it seems that your slow pace helps reduce the chance of injury.

[Farmall504]

Now that we are a couple of months into this project the chickens get excited for moving time. When they hear the tractor coming they all crowd towards the front of the "yard". It only takes a few seconds now. They are so ready for some fresh greens.

[girliecars]

wicked coop!!!!
