    Ok, that is the best chicken tractor I have ever seen. Only needs some type of heater for the water system. You will love this for the years to come

    Pretty awesome chicken pen! You will probably find that you still can’t keep up with demand and need a few more of them. Lol Looks like a great investment in the business to me.

    Those look like nice units. I would actually consider those costs reasonable for the ROI.

    Seems like a pretty big margin for the build for a high tunnel with some bells and whistles. Also 280 bird in 200 sqft sounds like pushing the regenerative/ pasture raised ethos.

      We're running more like 250 and I wondered if it would be crowded, but the end result has been cleaner, healthier birds and a much more consistent product than we had in our Salatin style tractors last year, even moving them twice a day at the end. (75 in a 10x12). Our mortality is down considerably over last year.

    I have been thinking about getting a few of these for quite some time. After 7 or so months, what works exceptionally well and what needs to be improved, in your opinion? What maintenace costs have you incurred? Thanks in advance.

      The manufacturer has a model that's designed for layers, but we've used these for our laying hens in the winter, they stay pretty warm.
