    Loved watching this build come together! Your attention to detail is amazing, and the chickens are going to love their new tractor!

    I’m gonna use this but maybe in the future give an actual material list and show every step. It would just make it a little easier to follow

    What are the dimensions of the chicken coop?

    Solid design. Some 1 by's on the bottom cut at a 45 for skids will make it much easier to move with just one person. Wont snag on the grass

    Good solid build. Have you considered wheels on the frame? Also, how heavy is the structure?

    How did this hold up to the predators so far?

    Could you please tell me what kind of brackets you used to make the door frame?

    Looks good0- I am planing on building one very similar to this. So it is 10'x10'. How many meat birds do you put in it?

    • @TheCookFamilyHomestead
      @TheCookFamilyHomestead  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We do 50 birds at a time and it easily fits them. Works great!

      @@TheCookFamilyHomestead Thanks for your reply! 50 birds does sound like a lot? We did them a few years ago in the Joe Salatin tractors. I can't remember but I thought mine was 12'x12' and we put 40 birds in there.

    What type of lumber did you use?

  • @erichubbard864
    @erichubbard864 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you have a full lumber parts list? You mentioned 10-2x4x10s but there’s definitely more lumber than that. Do you have a list? I love your design and want to copy it, thank you for sharing

      Hi Eric, I used about 9 - 2x4x8s as well. I ripped them in half for the roof trusses, so I used 5- 2x4s for that. I used the other 4 for the door and for the braces. I ripped most of them in half so it doubled the use of each one. I also used 2 inch firring strips for the roof as you can see in the video. I used 6- 8 footers.
      I purchased the tarp from Harbor Freight and it has been outstanding. Here is the link for the tarp: www.harborfreight.com/collections/silver-heavy-duty-tarps/11-ft-4-inch-x-18-ft-6-inch-reflective-heavy-duty-silver-tarpaulin-47676.html
      Purchased the hardware cloth in 2 foot width by 10 foot. Purchased 4 rolls. And one roll of 4ft by 25ft poultry netting.
      Hope that helps.....and it has held up all winter here with the snow and cold outside. Pretty happy with that tarp....actually surprised at how strong it is.
