    Daniel's bantam coop/chicken tractor. June 2020.

    The Bantam Tractor. So the reason for this coop/chicken tractor is that I wanted a small easy to move coop for Japanese bantams. I believe it would be good for any bantam's needs especially those with feathered feet or very low to the ground and hard to keep clean. The design! I wanted it to...

    Scared Silkie

    Hi everyone! First time chicken owner here. I have a flock of 4 at about 3 months old. I’ve had them since they were two weeks old. I’ve handled them daily. I have a silkie in this flock and since day one she has been petrified of me. She’s also... really dumb. She takes forever to figure out...

    Does anyone have plans for coop/tractor?

    I cannot find videos, plans or any info on it but I would love to make it myself. My pet chicken no longer has it on their website either. Do you have plans or have you made it and can help a fellow chickener out?

    Moving to a Tractor?

    I have a coop and run for my chickens, but I made a tractor so we can move them around the yard on good days and when we want to get in the coop and clean. But they don't know what the heck it is, and I don't know how to make them go in it. I am afraid to let them wander our yard because of the...

    Tractor/coop Add hardware cloth to pvc & build for slope

    I need to make a chicken tractor with coop out of something light. We started to do one in wood and it’s too heavy even though small. I’m thinking PVC but wondering how to attach hardware cloth to it. We have eagles and hawks as well as coyotes. Also our property is sloped. Any build hints to...

    Here's Our Chicken Tractor!!! Woo Hoo...My Girls Are So Happy!

    Every chicken tractor that my husband and I looked at on YouTube, various websites, and poultry supply operations were bulky, heavy, small and in my opinion, seemed kind of lacking in many ways. We have ten girls, have no landscaping at all right now and lots of Red-Tailed Hawks that loom above...

    Chicken Tractor Coop - Self-Sustaining

    My wife has always wanted to raise chickens so last year when an opportunity to purchase a home with 2 acres came along we jumped on it. We also had a pole barn constructed which left us with plenty of scrap lumber and metal panels. At first I wasn't fully convinced that I could build this...
