Let's do a tour of our moveable chicken coop since the CHICKEN TRACTOR BUILD PLANS are now available! (check the link in my bio) ☺️ Let's chat a bit about specs for the tractor! The tractor is 8ftx10ft & fits around 25 chickens inside. I've done up to 29, and as few as 13. The more birds you have inside, the more you may want to move it to fresh grass daily as they get bigger 👍🏻 All of the nesting boxes & roosting bars are completely removable to easily convert this to a meat bird tractor, so

We’ve been using this 12x12 chicken tractor for a bit now, and it’s made a big difference in our pasture setup. It’s sturdy, easy to move, and makes daily chores a whole lot smoother. We’re currently running 100 meat birds in this one and moving it daily to fresh grass. Even with that many birds in there they stay clean, active, and growing well. They spend about 3-4 weeks on pasture. We’ve already had it out in tornado-producing storms (Oklahoma doing its thing!), and it held strong. No shiftin
