Chicken tractor build update #2.

I was able to get the roof framing up with a little help from the sometimes helpful kiddies. (They don’t realize how helpful they actually were) I had let’s of salvaged scrap wood so used some for the strapping for the sheet metal and hardware cloth. Added the plywood back with a fold down nest box access. Added bracing to the base and the roof frames. Added a base for the nest boxes (more up-cycled wood). I stayed up way too late pushing this build but I’m happy with the progress. Stay tuned for more updates to follow.

Looks nice!

Layers or meat birds?

Layers for now

Nice. Saw that hatch and hinges and I figured that.

Might try this a-frame design for my next one. I overbuilt the cattle panel one I am using now.

Keep posting the updates. 👍

I looked at about 100 designs and this looked the easiest most functional. I’ll def keep the updates rolling. Sunday is the next work day. Stay tuned!
