When my husband first mentioned a chicken tractor, over 5 years ago, I laughed. It sounded so funny! After much research and discovery I have come to appreciate the idea of a mobile chicken coop that helps knock down weeds and bugs, fertilizes, protects the chickens and prevents any one area from being inundated with nitrogen.
I studied many designs and decided on one I wanted to build for my chickens. The picture above is my own chicken tractor in its Beta form. I hope to finish it by adding a gravity-fed waterer and I still need to finish out the nesting area.
So far the chickens love it!
