    It is a little heavy, but I usually use a hand-truck/dolly to move it around. I go in under the front, lift it up and drag it around. I have also used the loader on my tractor to lift and move it with a strap but that took longer than the dolly method. We just use that coop now for a...

There isn't any visible trauma and the bottom of the foot is clear ruling out bumble foot. We have had chickens for over a year now but are newbies with first...

    Thanks everyone! I feel pretty good about it, and the chickens seem to like it too. I had to change the wheel setup and will update the info on that. I also made a drop down panel in the back that is small enough to reach through to gather eggs. Bantambury, that's cool. We actually have...

    Everything Asil Thread ( show off those Asil )

    Barn Tractor (Mobile Home)

    This tractor was adapted from a design by an intern at the Kerr Center in Poteau, OK. The design is pretty neat with panels that can be opened to allow access to the inside of the coop from the rear, and from inside the run. The original design was a little smaller than I wanted so I scaled it...

  13. Here's the chicken tractor I adapted from the Kerr Center's (in Poteau, OK) chicken tractor. Our 9 year old wanted it to look like a barn, so we painted it like that.
