Great article explaining about versatile chicken tractor. This article proves that chickens can also be brought up as a pet animal. This also explains easy maintenance of chickens and the ways to keep them healthier.

Nice site! We’ve got three homemade chicken tractors, each one slightly better suited to our farm than the last. We’ve found that wheels are actually a pain rather than a help — they make it hard to turn abrupt corners, which makes it difficult to navigate through the garden.

We also like to move our tractors every day rather than a couple of times a week. That way, the chickens don’t scratch up the grass, they just get the bugs. The result is brilliantly orange eggs!

One final note on our experiences with chicken tractors — water can be difficult. Our first year, I made the mistake of putting a normal waterer in the tractor, and it tipped and spilled on uneven ground. Two of my hens died of heat exhaustion that day, and we shaped up! My husband invented an automatic chicken waterer which never spills on uneven ground (and has the added bonus of only having to be filled every few days.)

Hope those tips are helpful!

We’ve updated the site and added several new products. We now offer a smaller & lighter chicken tractor, a back porch coop and a nesting box.

In addition to selling these items we also offer plans for the Big Egg Chicken Tractor and the Little Egg Chicken Tractor.
