Chicken tractor for sale -- Ontario, Canada

[patandchickens]

I just don't seem anymore to be using the tractor that I built for my original 3 hens, so rather than have it sit and get old just taking up space, I'm putting it up for sale for someone to get some useful USE out of.

The tractor is photographed and described in considerable detail on my tractor page: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=1642-tractor

The house part is 4x2.5' and about 3' high (sloping roof); the pen part is 4x7'. It has worked very well for 3 chickens, might do ok for a fourth as well. Really it was built as a warm season tractor; you might be able to winterize it to use in a protected location, but, do so at your own risk, I make no guarantees of how it'd perform (tractors are really not a very good way to winter chickens in this climate, period).

I probably have upwards of $350 in materials in the tractor's construction; it is three years old and in very good condition (stored indoors during winter), but I do want to "find it a good home", so I guess I am asking $120 for it. The house part dismounts from the pen but you will need a truck in order to pick it up.

PM me if interested!

Hi Pat,

Boy, your chicken tractor sure is tempting! We'd love to get some layers soon and are just not in the mood for building our own coop right now (we're always working on our fixer upper farm house and don't need any extra projects!). It's very difficult to find a pre-built coop so I am excited to see yours is for sale. The only thing is, I'm near Woodstock so it would be a bit of a drive. I'm willing to make the trip, but all we have is a small pick-up truck. Do you think the coop would dismantle enough to fit in a small truck bed (i.e. once the house was off the cage would it sit inside the cage if we peeled back the top mesh?). I'd just hate to drive all that way and find it didn't fit!
Best regards,
Roxanne
