    Electrical line around the bottom perimeter is genius. I need to incorporate into mine. Great work!

    I like the way you did the rooftop and it looks like a barn style. I would like to see a more detailed information and video of you building your style of chicken tractor! Thanks 🙏

      I will try to put out more details on the the chicken tractor this spring.

    Incredible! What state are you in?

    What do you do for the winter time? That can’t hold much heat for the chickens.

      We have a system for growing chics. They spend 4 weeks in a brooder. We then move them to this chicken tractor - that usually happens in late May or early June. By mid-Fall we move them to the coop and run system and integrate them with the existing flock. We start the process over again the next year.

      The chicken tractor is not meant for Winter time it is only meant for the growing season when there is grass to eat

      @@chadthomas09 Correct. I should have mentioned that. I usually move mine to the coop and run in November before the cold winter winds kick in.

    Why not cull the mean rooster instead of allowing it to be someone else's problem. It would be far better for those traits not to be passed on and as food he's not wasted.

      Agreed. He was given to my butcher and their daughter actually fell in love with him and has become her pet. Weird to me, but it seemed to work out.
