Review Chicken Tractor Design

let you know you can do this on a third of an acre you don't need a large piece of land to raise your own food and raise your own eggs if you're tired of eating that garbage from the grocery store this is the solution right here okay so we'll set this guy in where the birds can get to it that's our feeder then we'll set our water right over in here and we want to make sure when we put our water in that the spot where the water comes out is facing down the hill in other words once water fills up to about right here that will stop the water flow if it's facing up the hill water will never rise up and it'll all run out onto the ground and waste all your hard work so again we'll face that down the hill remove the lid and it's just as easy just pouring some good fresh water in there that's a full 5-gallon bucket of water and fit in there like a champ we'll put the lid on right here now the birds can't get in there they can't make a mess they can't poop in their water and we're set also one more feature of this feeder I got to show you so having chickens they like to get on the high place they like to roost this right here this PVC bar see how it's rolling okay it's designed to keep the birds off if they get up here it'll roll and they'll fall off and therefore they can't roost on top of here and poop in their feet very important so that's the mobile chicken coop that's the chicken tractor I like to keep the tow-rope up out of the dirt if I can just slide this guy back over we'll reinstall our screws to hold this guy down so that the wind doesn't catch it and blow the roof off of it so a quick overview of the construction right here this is just 2 foot chicken wire this thing is about 24 inches high and basically we took self-tapping screws we wrapped it with chicken wire and we use the self-tapping screws with a great big washer we'll get it closed up in a second around the outside edge to attach our chicken wire if we run into a problem we just put more wire in and twist it up and fix some spots we got a little torn spot right down there so this 10 if you google search suppliers of metal roofing or sheet metal roofing you'll find a local person that will make this for you basically it comes in flat sheets they'll roll it out and cut it just to the size that you want so if you don't want a 10 by 12 coop you can build this a little bit smaller this is not schedule 40 in other words this is drain pipe this is four inch drain pipe like you'd go buy at Lowe's or…
