Chicken tractor... In process
I'm building my first chicken tractor.
I'm modeling them after the ones I saw on "stress free chicken tractor"
I did not buy his plans (yet)
I want to see how I do on my own.
I'm sharing my steps and measurement for anyone else who wants to try this!

Worked a bit on the garden after work and a bit more on breaking down the crate.
It is already 10'1" long and approx the right night, so i am leaving the sides semi assembled for right now.

Hopefully it won't rain on Wednesday!

I wasn't sure if you had seen this or not, Jonesboy posted it a while ago- a great idea for removable wheels!

I'm ripping off this idea for my tractor coops, but I plan on changing a few things. I'll have a solid coop in there and a different access hatch but I like the basic plan.

If you don't plant the tree, you will never have the fruit...

There's going to be a wood coop in there, plus I was thinking of using wood for the bottom rails.TomK wrote:QR_BBPOST Robbie..awesome link...that would be fairly light to move around...might have to peg it down
