We have lost hundreds of chickens to predation free ranging them. We built a chicken tractor out of PVC, the problem we encountered is uneven ground combined with the ingenuity of raccoons. I have considered some flexible heavy curtain to adapt to terrain like chain mail, but the weight makes moving it more difficult, and it already wasn’t easy. I’m excited to see how this works for you. It looks great!
Chicken tractor build update # 5
Today I was able to get the door finished. I really like how this turned out. The shape was definitely a challenge but it made for a wider opening and better aesthetics than a rectangle door. I also got locked in the coop before adding the latch pull wire. 🤦♂️
I just need to add the perches, wheels and some way of pulling the thing because it is heavy! Stay tuned for more updates to follow.

Thank you sir! This will be our fist go with chickens so I’m sure there will be lots of trial and error at first but I’m excited.
