Nice modification! I love the spirit of ingenuity in any form

We have uneven ground and were losing chickens to predators reaching or even digging under. I bolted hardware cloth to 4 sides as a skirt. The sides are lifted temporarily during moving. This has cut our losses to zero. We only move by hand.

You can use a crank and wheel system, its lifted when mobile, otherwise resting on the ground.

Smart idea for sure. But I feel like you wouldn't lose any by hand moving them instead of yanking them with a 4 wheeler.

The reasons they’re in the back is because of your four wheeler. Much easier to move the quieter it is. Maybe put the four wheeler at the back while you pull it😂

This is a good idea. My stupid birds keep getting their feet stuck while im pulling and i have to stop and go around back to free them. Luckily im pulling mine by hand so I don't injure any. One got a scrape on its leg once but didn't even bleed.

I thought you were suppose to move those by hand, for the good healthy exercise. Also, the engine scares the chickens...

Nice! I’ve also made a modification but haven’t but it out yet. My field is not perfectly flat so I get sick about every 4 inches. But I hate it anyway because chickens get run over almost every day

Why is a chicken tractor needed? And is the a way to build to avoid rats snakes and other predators?

To much shit to deal just to move it.. do u have the wire running across like Joel’s?.. maybe slow down.. great way to get raccoons inside

That’s amazing! But can a fox , possum or raccoon get under there and eat the chickens?

Why not just move it slowly by hand, instead of super fast with a four wheeler? Chickens are dumb but if you just go slowly you wouldn't run them over.

You ran over the chicks bc you move it to fast, the rubber mat just allows predators in and out.

Needless modification, and waste of resources. Joel uses something like a box truck. It lifts the cage up slightly when he uses that to move his tractors. No chickens get caught underneath.

Too easy for predators to get in. You need a stationary coop with a concrete barrier going down several feet and also probably a foot up from the ground.

Yes and no, predators won't get in if the rubber was just extended fencing and he didn't raise it up 3inches lol

The whole purpose is a mobile coop. Some folks use electrified netting around the chicken tractor area to thwart predators, but also the daily moves help keep chicken stink from attracting predators. The chicken's feed is supplemented by bugs and forage on the ground, and the fresh grass reduces fecal contamination.

Not impressed. All I see is a city slicker that thinks he is country. I do love that more people are realizing that they are government slaves and starting their own homestead... I just don't understand why everyone feels they have to post things like this.. Its not new... You really think nobody innovative has done this on their farm?
