So what is a chicken tractor? Think of it as a portable pen with an attitude. Basically, it's a coop on wheels with no flooring.

It gives your birds the two things they love best: fresh grass and new dirt every day for them to scratch around in. chickens peeping out

Birds of the Wild
Mean Lots of Problems

These chicken tractor plans will help you provide your flock with freedom, but also the crucial protection they need. Your hens and roosters were designed to spend their days eating grass and hunting for insects - a wonderful, natural form of pest and weed management.

But left to their own devices, they become wild. They're impossible to catch at butchering time, by humans anyway.

Without a coop for protection, your birds become easy prey for coyotes or neighborhood dogs.

Plus they hide their eggs. Every day becomes an egg hunt.

Why Using Chicken Tractor Plans are Preferable
to Building a Hen House

The problem with a stationary hen house is, the hen house got smelly pretty quickly. Loaded with manure, it quickly became a toxic site that could make your birds sick if you don't clean it often enough.

Plus, even if you provide your birds with a run, the grass in the area will quickly disappear.

Then your birds are dependent on the food you give them - "dead" food consisting of dried, ground grains.

That means a bigger feed cost and more work removing manure and urine. These chicken tractor plans give you a way to provide your flock with fresh grass and insects every day while keeping them safe.

The Beauty of the Portable Coop
Built With These Chicken Tractor Plans

The great thing about a chicken tractor is it provides safety for your birds, but also allows them to roam - under your supervision. Every day your birds get a brand-new patch of grass, with lots of tasty bugs and fresh greens. Your lawn, in turn, get aerated and fertilized. Your organic "lawn service" will do wonders for your grass.
