The Chikin Trakter

A cute little tractor coop. The article would be improved if some progress pictures could be added. I would also recommend hardware cloth over poultry netting, since poultry netting will not stop determined predators.

So many tractors are show pieces which is understandable for a backyard hobby. But many take a lot of skill to make as well as costly materials. I live in a place where finding cheap labor is impossible and a lot of materials are hard to get and super expensive so this idea really appeals to me.

Nice tractor coop

I would like to have seen in process pictures.
I don't think it is predator resistant. A magnetic latch is very unlikely to keep out a predator. The poultry wire aka chicken wire will keep chickens in. It will not keep predators out.

Would love a description on material or plans and an update!

I like the size of your run. However, two things that I would improve about the coop itself is the space and ease of access. There could be more space in the coop, think 4sqft per bird. I would also have made the coop taller so that you could access it easier.
