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.

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!
