chicken tractor large

this is my homemade chicken tractor. It is raining so the audio is weak. I will be putting nesting boxes on it soon. It is 12'x 5 1/2. enjoy. please leave comments good or bad, Ilove them all. Please rate. By the way I didnt realize how much of a Maine accent I had until I heard this. Check out my ice fishing shack at 2:06. It has a polycarbonate roof and vinyl siding. at 20 degrees on a sunny day it stays about 50 degrees without the wood stove lit

how many chikens do you have in there and im getting 6 chikens so how big would it have to be???? thx

@HorseyHow2Channel 2 to 3 square feet per bird is the miniimum. I had 12 birds in there but they were let outside whenever I was around.I moved them into a much larger shed with a large fenced in area as they grew larger. The tractor now is for broody hens.This is more then enough room for six birds. Not in this video are nesting boxes that are now attached to the side.

nice. I just got all my rafters cut for mine. I tend to over engineer everything I do so it should be sturdy. Did a 24/12 pitch roof and going to use some left over metal roofing from the 6X6 Coop I built. I built my coop to look like a shed building, and used the cheapest windows I could find.

how did you put the wheel on yr tractor. I made a small TC but in still need to put the wheels and I have no clue on to put them on?

Nice tractor....a tip for you.....suspend your waterer from the center post of your tractor and then there will be no need to remove when you are moving it!
