Pics of some easy make chicken tractors at organic neighbor farm down road . Flat ones for meat birds , peaked ones for layers . No idea size or how many birds in each .

These are just the same as from Joel Salatin's book on raising chickens.

Maybe they copied . Simple design not much to change . Been around along time before Joe Stalin .

Are the white buckets for water?

yes, there will prolly be poultry nipples attach to a pipe inside. i have a couple hundred of them, i finally set some up this summer and the birds were quick to catch on. mine are cheapos from China and do drip a bit... no big deal outside. i also use the poultry cups for my quail and in my brooders, cheapos as well but work like a charm and dont make a mess at all.

if you want to see some of the stuff I built take a look through the poultry projects page... I have pretty much documented and explained how to build many things from incubators to converting an rv trailer into a coop. when we moved I pulled it here full of birds! no permit required...

Yes the white buckets are for water with a hose down to the red bell waterers which work by gravity & weight/pressure . Only good in warm weather . Luck
