Chicken Tractor


This is our baby chicken pen built from scraps around the yard. The only thing i bought was the polyshade from Bunnings $12.95 metre. Polyshade is waterproof as well as providing shade.. the three little chicks in the pen were hatched two weeks ago last thursday so are now on their own, the hen that hatched the chicks was mean and kept knocking over the water dish so she is now back with the other chooks... The pen has a door at one end which i rarely use, it is light enough to pick up, it can be drag along to move it by one person.. it was construted with a frame on the bottom dont know what it original use was, some poly pipe and an old canoe oar. it is all held together with zip ties...


The next pen to be built consist of a old swing set.. but as these chicks may turn out to roosters i may not need it in a hurry.

Geese in their new pen..
