So What Is a Chicken Tractor?
A chicken tractor is a movable chicken coop on wheels with no flooring.
It gives your chickens the two things they love best: fresh grass and new dirt every day for them to scratch around in.
Chickens are designed to eat greens and bugs, and a portable chicken coop allows them to do both.
So Why is it Called a Chicken Tractor?
Because of the wonderful things it does to your lawn.
Move your chicken tractor every day, and the chickens will clear out the weeds, aerate your soil and fertilize it with their own rich manure.
Plus, they'll give you eggs to boot.
The Benefits of These Eggs Over the Ones in the Store
A survey done by Mother Earth News revealed that chickens - particularly those who live in poultry tractors moved daily - have up to one third less cholesterol and a fourth less saturated fat than commercially raised eggs.
They also have more vitamin A and a lot more omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E and beta carotene than their commercial counterparts.
Chickens who live in a chicken tractor eat more of the diet they are supposed to have - lots of leafy greens, bugs and worms. They enjoy their lives; my birds love it when I move their tractor about. Everyday they get a new supply of grass to scratch in.
Commercially raised birds, on the other hand, spend their entire lives cramped in the same small, dark, dirty space. They consume a diet of cottonseed, soy and corn with additives thrown in.
This stressful environment can make them sick, so they're also given antibiotics to keep them from dying too soon.
You and your family ingest those antibiotics when you eat their eggs. Plus, you're eating eggs from stressed-out, potentially sick birds.
With your own free-range birds, you're providing a kinder environment for your brood and better nutrition for your family.
