  1. This is great! I want something similar but with wheels on one end and a 2
    x 4 tongue on the other. I am not planning to leave them in long. Just
    long enough to get them some fresh grass, move to a new spot of grass.

  2. How much did the hardware cloth cost you? That’s the problem I keep running
    into. The stuff gets expensive quick.

  3. Nice simple design! This is my new channel that is just for food production
    stuff. Thanks for your kind comment on my chicken tractor vid. It’s my
    first one so I’m sure that I will learn a lot and be able to improve on the
    design next time around.

    am a “first-time” builder…really need the step by step
    instructions…Please! Thanks,

  5. Nice simple design, but I do have two recommendations. Put plywood or
    something under the metal roofing, or it will get like an oven inside due
    to direct sunlight. Also, if you aren’t having roosters, you don’t need
    nesting boxes. Chickens will happily lay eggs anywhere, and only need the
    box if they are going to sit on and hatch a clutch of eggs. No roosters,
    plenty of eggs, but no baby chicks.
