Found some old guy who sold laying hens. One of them lost a tail in a fight on the way here, but the chicken tractor has an engine!

I don't know how far it is, but bogue chitto state park has an awesome 5 mile hiking trail. We saw tons of wildlife. Hills, lakes, rivers, etc. Beautiful.

A minimum of 15? Damn. I only want 4. And I had no idea how many different kinds of chickens there are!?! Holy crap.
I heard some lady off 73 has some. Might ride out there. I want cheap chickens. Who even knows if I can keep them alive or not.

I also grew up on a bunch of land but that is hard to find/too expensive these days so I'm very happy with my chicken tractor in my neighborhood sized yard :-)

No, and the porch we put on was an afterthought. There just happened to be a guy there working on dads lathe who had raised chickens who said we needed one. So we just have that porch right outside the door and there's plenty of room inside.
I'm thinking maybe coke or milk crates for partitions? Any ideas?

I plan on moving it every few days. I'm going to hopefully put two wheels on the back and a little handle on the front or side to make it easy to move. I can slide it around by myself as is though. I'm not sure how low to the ground it has to be. I think dad decided the height just by cutting a standard 2x4 in half. I'm also short (5'2) so the coop had to be low enough for me to reach my hand in. He made me a little stick that fits down in the side and when I need to open it, I open it and stick it in the side like you would do when opening a hood.
Most of the measurements came out of his head. We just got the plywood and drew the pieces out. It's at dads shop, but when I get it here I don't mind taking more pics and measuring for you. Neither of us had built one before and start to finish was 5 hours I think.

No Prob.
Materials cost $125. (included a Hershey bar for the 4 year old).
The entire pen is 8x4. The coop part of it was 4'x30"

The last one is completely finished except for the wire over the top. I was losing daylight and wanted to take a good pic.

Sure. Let me get husband to post them.
I must admit my mechanical engineer dad did most of the planning and muscle. I mainly stapled the wire and held things still. I think it's beautiful. Had a great time with dad too. Memories, ya know.

Where do I get worker chickens? I want ones that lay eggs, not little stupid chicks.
This thing is impressive, IMHO. 8x4 with a porch, ladder, and hinged roof.

I'm thinking 2-3 grown chickens. No roosters. So I won't be raising them. Just eating their unfertilized eggs :-) do you think feed will be expensive for jus a few chickens?

It's a little pin you move around the yard (wheels on one end and a handle on the other) it's totAlly enclosed and as a little coop on one end off the top. Each chicken will lay 1 egg a day, and you move the tractor every so often. Fertilizes your grass, gets rid of roaches bugs and termites, and you get fresh eggs. Sounds pretty damn good to me. So tomorrow I'm going to try it.

I've never really built anything before so I figure this is a good place to start. I'm about to look up some plans. So far I like the A type one. Any dos or donts? Downside/upside to having chickens in your yard?
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!
