Reply #3: And now the chicken tractor!

[hippywife]

Nothing fancy. My husband built it using some old left over cattle panels we picked up from a friend's farm and covered it in rabbit fencing. Put some plywood on one end to shade it a little and give more rigidity to the overall structure. Stuck a couple of lawnmower tires on the end. Voila!

Best part is...the chickens absolutely love it! Whenever it gets moved to a new spot, they immediately get busy hunting for bugs and nibbling on new vegetation. He also cut a gate into their pen and another in the side of the tractor so that while we're at work, they can go in and out of both at will. It also helps to get them back in the pen at night. They put themselves to bed at sundown so they just meander back into the pen and into the coop for the night.
