How is this rollable with the pvc base? I wouldn’t think pvc of that length would be able to hold the whole load and would bend or break.
What do you do with the chickens when you move the coop?
I think 25 is about the max occupancy. Probably be better to keep about 20 or less if you don’t let them out.
I think it is a good idea.
Thanks you for your kind comments.
I have the best gaurd dogs. Never lost a chicken at night. The tractor is wired in, and the only way a critter could get to the chickens is to dig, which would attract my dog and be a poor choice. I thought about putting a door to the coop, but decided against it.
My chickens are usually free range, and only return to the tractor to lay eggs and for bedtime. While I am not home they stay locked up.
Urgent!

Very nicely done. We purchased a house that “included” 5 chickens and 1 rooster that some how got included in the pruchse.
I wish I could live like this my house and nothing else for miles..nyc is crazy…I envy u bro…lol..nice video
Do you have the chickens all day long inside the tractor? Or just at night?
Hello are those chickens safe at night from raccoons or fox didn’t see door on roosting opening thanks jim love your video
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 ?
