Joe's super duper chicken tractor, 6'x10' run, 3'x6' coop, 3 nesting boxes, complete with a stained glass rooster window, can easily be moved by hand, or pulled with a mower, tractor, or truck.
Very good with the excentric wheel lifting, I thought of this and wondered why no one has thought of it sooner. All this lifting and placing wheels on and off, this is the way to do it. Good job.
I think all the tractors I’ve seen this looks nice in yard and not a eye sore ,i would put in front yard for all to enjoy driving by and maybe some kids would enjoy and know where eggs come from,love it
Truly amazing! Thank you for sharing your expertise in preparing, planning, & building. What kind of chickens do you have? & What natural, wholesome feed would you recommend for supplement grass & bugs- so their will be high in protein & calcium? Thanks again.
Seems like the lawn mower is more trouble than it's worth. In the time it takes to go get it and take it back the tractor would have been moved. To each his own I guess.
This is EXACTLY what I need and want - a chicken tractor that can be moved with a good riding lawn mower. Do you sell the design plans? Or at least material shert, etc?
Looks great, Do you always lift it onto the board, then to the mower, off onto the board and back to the ground of in real life directly onto the ball? Are the lifting wheel levers locked by a hook or the weight keeps them deployed?
So last night, I’m sitting up in bed watching your video with my wife watching her baking shows next to me. She rolls over and asks me to turn the volume down cause she can’t hear her show. She says “Are you watching Roadhouse?” Hahaha! I said “What are you talking about ?” She said “Ain’t that Sam Elliott talking?” Hahaha! “No!” I’m laughing and trying to tell her that I’m watching a guy that built himself a nice chicken tractor with wheels. She scoots closer looking over my arm and says “Let me see.” Lol. Now mind you, I’ve been watching these coop and chicken tractor videos all winter and she never even once bothered. I tell you she ain’t never met the man but, that woman loves Sam Elliott so much I’m starting to get a little jealous. Lol. So don’t be surprised if your subscriber numbers and views go up just a little bit.
you built that? you did a very nice job. hope my coop I am building looks as nice. (have chicks coming this summer) love the set up using a tractor. i was thinkig the same using mine for this chicken tractor I built (suscovic design with modifications)
Nice tractor. That stained glass adds a great touch to it . Awsome construction . (-: only thing id add is a handle made of steel by the hitch so i wouldnt haugh to bend down so far .(-:
How do you keep the wheel levers from popping back down? I just put the same system on my little coop (with lots of profanity and bit small amount of stomping) but not sure about how to keep the wheels in the up position. And are they just bolted to the coop or is there a axle type rod linked between the wheels?
This looks like an ingenious setup. But, we can’t see how you’ve constructed it where you can raise the back end with the wheels! It’s out of focus AND waaayyyy too far away to even see the details of it!

Come on Jason Born other people have done the same thing many years ago.
Chickens hear the mower start; “Shit, girls, we’re moving again!”

This is awesome!
the crunchy chrunch sound is absolutely maddening! nice build though
Thank you for sharing such a nice coop/run. Great demo too! Blessings.
Your very welcome Martha, and thanks for the kind words.
It looks as though you can probably move that fairly easy without a tractor.
So do I, I think it is not that heavy to do so
Hay Joe that's a mighty fine design you have there, I like it! Thanks for sharing!
You've got some interesting features there Joe. Ever think of doing an update? What is it like 4 years later and what have you learned?
Very nice job. I really liked your setup.
Truly amazing! Thank you for sharing your expertise in preparing, planning, & building.

That's great!

Looks super nice!
super slickest chicken tractor ever!
Love your comment, thanks.
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
Very nice. I liked the stained glass window.
that is a Cadillac of chicken tractors :)
good job
you built that? you did a very nice job. hope my coop I am building looks as nice. (have chicks coming this summer) love the set up using a tractor. i was thinkig the same using mine for this chicken tractor I built (suscovic design with modifications)
Nice
Great unit!
We use aluminum in our #aluminumchickentractor from #naturalgramma RevHank and Laura Reid
I love it !!
This is wonderful
Really nice !!!
Nice tractor. That stained glass adds a great touch to it . Awsome construction . (-: only thing id add is a handle made of steel by the hitch so i wouldnt haugh to bend down so far .(-:
That's a brilliant idea do you have building plans for this coop tractor?
How do you keep the wheel levers from popping back down? I just put the same system on my little coop (with lots of profanity and bit small amount of stomping) but not sure about how to keep the wheels in the up position. And are they just bolted to the coop or is there a axle type rod linked between the wheels?
Love this coop/tractor. Any chance you have PLANS available for how to build this?
Yes I want plans
Is the tracker frame made of 2x6 boards?
Pretty nice! Where did you get that stained glass window?
Thanks, I found the window on Ebay
She's a Beauty.
I am going to make one similar but will put a door on the front of the lot and probably use cattle panels instead of the plastic pipe.
Very nice.
How long and wide is the coop part?
very nice
i think i herd some chirps in the video when you opened the door to the chicken house
Any problems with predators?
I hope they lay golden eggs
Nice ,How many adult chickens can fit in there ?
A laying hen needs about 4 square ft. per bird. So, about 15 hens. But in this case the house takes up ?? square ft.? So subtract for that.
Wow.
All that for 20 feet ... congratulations .
How many birds are foreseen in this tractor?
I want to build one like this. Did you make or buy it?
Do you have plans for this?
How did u build it?
Its nice where did you buy it
nice tractor, bad stinking mower.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Would you have measurements for the tractor
The whole run is 6'x10', the coop is 3'x6' with nest boxes on the back.
This looks like an ingenious setup. But, we can’t see how you’ve constructed it where you can raise the back end with the wheels! It’s out of focus AND waaayyyy too far away to even see the details of it!
