Tractor Light
Chicken tractor plans for the serious poultry farmer
Backyard poultry farming is becoming increasingly popular and people are looking for an affordable solution which can help them keep their chicken while providing other benefits such as cleaning out weed and pests. Enter the Chicken Tractor; a simple and easy to make wooden construction designed for small scale poultry farmers with 3 - 6 chickens and looking for a cheap solution for their backyard poultry.
Making a Chicken tractor
A chicken tractor is usually 4 feet long and 3 feet wide while being around 3 feet high. All you will need to construct one is some lumber and chicken wire. Most Chicken tractors are also known as Chicken or Hen Arks. There are a few important considerations that you must take into account before you make your tractor, most of these are:
- Provide at least 4 square feet per chicken so that they can have plenty of space to move and flap around.
- Keep the tractor light enough so that you can move it around easily.
- The tractor should not have a floor so that the chicken can reach the grass easily.
Of course if you have more birds then you can play around with the size of the coop.
Advantages of having a Chicken tractor
A chicken tractor is easy to move around as it is light-weight. When a chicken is confined to a small area they will concentrate their activities there. As a result, they eat away the entire weed from the grass along with the bugs. They also provide fresh nitrogen rich manure to the soil. All you need to do is to move the tractor around your backyard frequently. Do not keep a tractor in one place for too long as chicken have a tendency to scratch away the soil and take sand baths. This can destroy a portion of your backyard if unchecked.
Where can I find those tractors that light up in the yard at Christmas time?
Try the John Deere dealer. It seems like I have seen them and they are John Deere.
