Love this design. We’ve been losing chickens like crazy this year. Hawks, raccoons, foxes, coyotes. But looks like the plans are no longer at that link?
@@WineberryHill I know it is a little late to respond to this 4 months later, but I tried the link and it worked fine. While I am commenting, you do good work and make good videos. Thank you.
They do make affordable solar Hotwire that’s portable. I’ve seen guys on YT utilize these. Another idea are some good ole farm dogs like Great Pyrenees, sheep and cattle dogs and even German shepherd if well trained will defend livestock. But of course the best line of defense is a solid coop and either tractor or run with the right wire fencing or panels.
Great idea! Question: I have chickens that will lay in the afternoon. Do you ever have an issue with a hen not being able to lay when they need to when you tractor them away from their nesting boxes during the day?
Never had a problem. Mine have "usually" laid by the time I go out and move them to pasture. But when a hen hasn't laid it isn't an issue...they just lay it in the tractor, and I grab the eggs when I move the tractor.
Question, you didn’t mention so I’m assuming you don’t utilize farm dogs?! I live in sw KS, I don’t homestead although I’d love to one day but ppl around here rely heavily on Great Pyrenees, German Shepherd’s, I have a mini Aussie but she’d be more for herding than a line of defense and border collies again for herding. Here we on very rare occasions have a random mountain lion walk through, rattle snakes galore but predominantly we deal with coyotes. They are known for tricking farm dogs to chase them out into the prairie alone and it’s never good but properly trained dogs especially with a bud make such a difference in reducing the amount of predators that get too close. That might really reduce the amount of wildlife that approaches so confidently and so close to your chickens although you seem to enjoy the foxes and other animals out there which I get that. I was just curious, sheepdogs are great too but Great Pyrenees tend to be our go to because they’re big, strong, great family dogs and can live full time in about all weather. Just a thought or for anyone dealing with the loss of their livestock should give a thought to the right farm dogs that’ll defend your coops, bare minimum they’ll sound the alarms. I’ve also heard guard geese are phenomenal protectors and can live with chickens, turkey or ducks so long as they’re raised around them they tend to view them as family. Live/Hotwire is another tool and they make solar ones now so you can move them around as needed with the chickens. It’s the aerial predators that can be so pesky and hard to protect from. Anyways just an idea
Yep, dogs are a great option. We don't keep dogs because of our lifestyle. Also I use our land for hunting, and I need the deer etc, to feel safe here. But absolutely dogs are superb way to keep livestock safe.
Love it! This design may help us figure out a rabbit tractor for this spring ❤
Glad I could help!
Merci from Montreal, Canada.

LOL, tell them they need to get moving... The early bird gets the worm/grub/insect ;)

Karya yg sangat bagus💚💚💚
Nice!
Thanks!
How do you move it with chickens inside
They like to explore new ground, so they enjoy walking along as it moves.
Do you think the plans are scalable? I have eight birds coming in and I'd like to redo my coop/run combo with a tractor/coop combo.
I think the coop is fine size-wise...and possibly the tractor as well as long as the hens are all compatible and the drama is low.
@@WineberryHill Thanks! I just purchased the plans- If I make the plans any larger, I'll send some photos of how it went
Fantastic (THANK YOU) and keep us posted!
How many chicken will this accommodate🙏🏽
This tractor will hold up to six
I don’t see the plans , is it possible to get them?
