Portable chicken tractor coop or duck pen - Duckingham Palace

This is our new chicken tractor..... actually it's for our new baby ducks, which will arrive in a few weeks. Our chicken/duck tractor made for under $300.00 will supply us with farm fresh duck eggs along with giving our ducks a safe and roomy home for good egg production. We got the idea from a book by Eliot Coleman called Four Season Harvest where he had a section on Ducks.

I wonder how many bantam chickens I could get in something similar to that...

[dannaerose]

I'm not an expert, but I would say 10-12 would fit nicely. We plan on accomodating 10 welsh harlequin ducks.

Our original plan is for egg production, weed control and feriilizer. I think it will also be a lot of fun.

nice but i think it 's to small ,,,ducks get big and want lots of water...

That ramp is way too steep for ducks! Otherwise, very cool.

Hopefully you do not have many bears around your coop because a bear will pop open the roof of the coop

Do you have blueprints or measurements? I would like to build this for my 10 ducks.

If you place wheels ~ midpoint each side the lifting will be nearly weightless. Nice design otherwise though.

Really great! I like the hunter green color, it compliments the roof! Those little bolt action locks suck tho. When the wet weather comes, the wood swells and then they don't exactly work well. At least, that's my experience. Good luck with yer ducks!!!
