Diy Chicken Tractor

A DIY chicken tractor is a mobile coop that can be moved around your yard to provide your chickens with fresh grass and bugs to eat. It’s a relatively easy project to build, and it’s a great way to save money on feed and keep your yard healthy.

To build a DIY chicken tractor, you’ll need a few basic materials:

Lumber for the frame
Hardware cloth or chicken wire for the sides and top
Roofing material for the roof
Hardware for assembly
Nesting boxes
Feeder and waterer

Once you have your materials, follow these simple steps to build your chicken tractor:

Cut the lumber to size and assemble the frame.
Attach the hardware cloth or chicken wire to the sides and top of the frame.
Attach the roofing material to the roof.
Add nesting boxes, feeder, and waterer to the inside of the tractor.

Once your chicken tractor is complete, you can place it in your yard and add your chickens. Be sure to move the tractor to a new location every few days so that your chickens have fresh grass and bugs to eat.

Here are some tips for building a DIY chicken tractor:

Make sure the tractor is big enough for your chickens to move around comfortably. A good rule of thumb is to allow one square meter of space per chicken.
Make sure the tractor is well-ventilated to prevent overheating.
Add a nesting box for each chicken.
Make sure the feeder and waterer are always full.
Move the tractor to a new location every few days so that your chickens have fresh grass and bugs to eat.

With a little planning and effort, you can easily build a DIY chicken tractor that will provide your chickens with a safe and comfortable home.
