Chicken Tractor Advice Needed Please
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 9:46 am
Good news is that the old boats that had been sitting in my riding ring taunting me are GONE and I have a boat trailer staring at me each day. The plan is to make a chicken tractor to haul around the paddock for my growouts.
At first I was thinking that I wanted a heavy duty wire mesh floor so the would just fall through on to the grasss. Now I'm thinking that the mess would just collect onto the frame of the trailer and I would have another job to worry about.
So now Im thinking that maybe I would make the chicken house extend out over the trailer and have the mesh floor just under the roosts.
Does anyone have a moveable chicken house with a through floor at all? What would I use for that part? Are there any other must haves for a tractor? I have the windows, and a few more ideas, but anything else would be awesome.
