What a great, brilliant chicken coop/tractor! – Your design is so well thought out – thank you for sharing this. More and more people are wanting and needing to have chickens – this tractor allows them to move around – eating greens, spreading the compost – thank you for sharing this. If we all share we can build a good quality of life! Wishing you joy!
I would like to add to this. As a secondary source of water, put rain gutters around the roof, have the rain gutters flow into a bucket mounted high, let it gravity feed that pvc pipe mentioned above. The trick would be to stop the flow when the pvc trough is full so it does not flood and end up on the ground and drain your bucket dry.
neat
That coop is brilliant
How many chickens can u fit in that coup
?
Usually once a day, sometimes it gets parked for awhile for various reasons.
I think it would work just fine, but not sure how it would save any money. I think the PVC would cost more than the bucket does.
I do use PVC with caps for one waterer without a fill valve. I pull the top cap off the pvc which is mounted vertical and poor water in it, a hose comes out the bottom which is capped and goes to the bucket inside the coop. Makes it easier to fill the bucket when the tractor is in the boonies
I like your lawnmower weels lol
Thank you for putting this on YouTube. I think it is good and practical design
I would like to know how you make your doors. How did you get the hinge on it…great design
strong work bud.
I think I’ve got a new idea, why don’t you run the hose line directly into a PVC pipe that is capped off on both ends with an adjustable water pressure valve then attach a line of nipples on the bottom of the PVC pipe, then hang the PVC pipe above their heads I can also imagine hanging the pipe under a board for a walk the plank, I see this as a faster and much lower cost Manufacturing technique
how often do you need move it around ?
Excellent. I like that. I am testing out an idea I had. make the chicken run and the chicken house two separate parts with doors that keep them apart. Use the standard A chicken house out of wood. Then the pen with a 12 foot by 8 foot span. I hope to double the run as a green house for the winter. I am also thinking of putting bamboo in the center of the pvc to give it more strength. Thanks for help!
The chicken wire goes over the hoops and is fastened on the bottom, so they cannot come out. So I didn’t glue them.
I am not sure, I have 25 in there currently with no problem.
whats the max amount of chickens that would fit into your coop?
Did you glue them in after you pushed them into the larger pipe or how did you secure them if I may ask?
The website is listed in this video description, just copy and paste.
