SMALL FLOCK PVC CHICKEN TRACTOR [ + the engineer who built it!]
One of my favorite things about my wife is her ability to visualize, research, and build amazing homestead projects. This is a PVC chicken tractor that she's been working on for a few days and we finally have our first chickens in there.
In the video we say that it cost around $50. It actually cost us $57... Still, a great price for something that can comfortably hold 15 birds or even more if we wanted to.
The benefits of a PVC tractor for a small flock is that it's lighter, and easier to move. Not to mention it doesn't damage our lawn, which is where the tractor will mostly be.
We'd highly recommend a PVC chicken tractor for anyone looking to do small scale chicken raising for meat. We look forward to using this one to get these hens (maybe one is a rooster) big enough to integrate with our layer flock and then we'll have another batch ready to raise in here.
UPDATE:
An easier way to mount the chicken wire to the PVC would just be zipties, or just bits of wire. the screws with the washers was kind of a pain in the butt.
This continues to be incredibly useful to just have around the homestead for both rabbits and chickens. We've never kept a rabbit in it overnight though because they may dig out. But they're happy to hang out in it during the day.
