there are far too many chickens for a space that small. having raised chickens, i can imagine pecking is a problem. i would have only put 2 hens, at the most, in that size coop.

That's what you call a portable chicken coop.

I love these videos, but having raised chickens many times I must say these babies still need a brooding light. They need to be warm until they loose their fuzz and grow feathers. I light could be suspended from the roof but no where does she mentions it.

I like that since the tractor is raised on the wood-sided bed, the door is much easier to access than if the pen were straight on flat ground.

these are meat birds you only have them maybe 16 weeks and they do not move much, i always had over 500 meat birds in an 8 x 20 shad, year after year for many years

I cannot believe all the insulting this poor gal is getting, at least she does it, by the way to one comment all you need is one sq foot per bird and that is going by large laying hen, these are a very small breed

[SuperHurricane24]

That is the best chicken tractor i have seen on youtube .

where will the chickens go in the winter?

[RosaButton]

Obviously this is just for the chicks and as they get bigger she'll move them...duh...

[kevjay777]

I see she isn't giving any updates about this. I bet she gave away a bunch of chickens over the next few days unless she built a bunch of other coops that size.

I still want to know how / why she places the tractor on her raised bed. Does she move the coop between beds? Does she the garden directly in those beds?

Maybe you should get some help from DIY girl.
