I don’t have to move my hens inside to move my tractor. I move slower and the hens eventually understand what’s coming and come along with me. The wheels don’t have to go too high for it to just cross the ground So we work for the wheels to not be high so it’s less likely they can slip under as it moves. I have run over a few over the years. They survived thank God

Dude thank you for this idea! So much better, i dont feel like i need to be a professional welder to build a lift system.

Thank you for the inspiration for this Spring's chicken tractor. I really want retractable wheels for moving it.

I like it. I think the other bird will be very happy to have one of the same.

Extend the levers through the back of the coop with a pipe through the wall, using a 'z' shaped slot. That way you can lower the wheels from outside the coop, using the z as a ratchet to keep the wheels lowered.

These look like what we call Barred Rocks in America. Great dual purpose birds. Nice large brown eggs, great mom's and the roos are gentle. Good size too hens about 7 to 8 pounds. Roos a pound or 2 bigger..I like the design of your coop..mine is more square ..but then I'm very short too..LOL

I mounted my tractors on 4” pvc conduit split in half lengthwise. It slides like a snowmobile.

That’s an awesome idea that I’m going to use for our coops here at the house!

Looks like you enjoy your chickens , good for you. Good idea for the wheels also. Thank you

I built something very similar for my rabbit tractor out of steel but attached to the outside as to not accidentally run over any animals.

Thanks for the content! I am going to build two sets for my two chicken tractors. I will probably mount them on the outside of mine though as I don't have width limitations.

Seemed easy to move. When you are done, don't forget a Bavarian logo outside.

Oh my goodness, neatly presented facts!! How are you still such a hidden secret! Thank you for pushing your hard earned knowledge forward for our benefit! 🙇🏻‍♂️

Great video. Make a double door. Keep the bottom half closed so you can get in and out through the top half.

Put your wheels outside the tractor. Good idea thanks glenn

Would have been easier to place the wheels on the outside of the tractor?

You could minimize the chick escapees if you changed to a Dutch style type door. The bottom part short enough to step over but tall enough to keep the chicks in. Or just not have the door go so low if you don't need the bottom portion to open at all. I use both ideas, I just described, in a couple of coops I have.

Thank you for the idea! I’ve been looking for this.

Good job. Because I have multiple tractors I put my wheels outside so don't have to enter the coop and only use one set of wheels to move all my coops.

I would put perches in there. Like a perch you can fold away when you walk in the co-op but put back as you leave. .

Also. One of our mobile pens doesn’t have the ridiculous hen box off the back (rain falls in when the rubber seal rots for starters) but the back folds down half way and the nesting boxes are right inside And I reach into the dry if it’s raining and can slip eggs onto the container without getting rained on. So I highly recommend that. Furthermore, the hen box gives a raccoon or some other varmit another easy access to climb up on. Ditch the hen box outside for a fold down for the inside

What a great design

You could add two more wheels, and a handle at the end to make pushing or pulling easier. For the egg boxes if you incline the floor at 10 degrees and build a small corridore on the outside of the egg boxes, the eggs can roll out of the egg box into it preventing them from getting dirty or broken. they are the easier to collect.

id reverse wheels to outside so access from out of pen, very nice work

I like your english videos too !!

thx for sharing to the European audiance

I like it. I would put the tires on the outside back. Good video though!!!

Thank you.

Love the video. Great ideas

Great 👍 farm

Put the wheels on the exterior of the tractor

Put the wheels on the outside.

Hi its Ralph from South Wales UK. you will need to wire the bottom of the chicken tractor to stop foxes digging up underneath.

Usually if you move it often enough, they don’t have enough time to dig under. My dogs don’t and they try

Well, done Florian. Nice video. If I had a garden as big as yours, I'd also like to have chicken and maybe a copy of your tractor.

I would put some hinged wire at bottom so animals not just dig under it to get your chickens

@kirkhel

Yes, this! And having the wheels on the inside makes it easier to put the hinged wire along the outside of the coop.

Not the best but also ok 👍

Are you using ACV apple cider vinegar in the drinking water of the grow ups?

How tall is the coop door. Is it tall enough for full grown hens? I find that if the little doors are too small it messes up the roosters tail feathers. That is the mistake I made with my coop.

How big is the chicken tractor, I like the design

How often do you move it around

Wheels would help you on the outside

Good video, my question is, why don't you mount the wheels on the outside?

My first thought.

So basically: I have a pvc hoop coop I built Plan is to drill a hole through pvc where I want the wheels and put a bolt thru it and then a washer and then a nut and tighten the nut, and then Put the wheel on and then a washer and then a bolt -not too tight Hopefully this works as $ is tight Also planning to move my coop with the chickens inside it 'hopefully' I have chicken wire on the floor Just worried about bird legs getting hurt in the move Ideas? Think this will work?

Lose the chicken wire in the bottom for the sake of the chickens feet. Chicken wire will also not stop a raccoon. Mine have learned to move with me when I live their pen. Move them slow and don’t have the wheels go so high that they can escape underneath. But also hens need to scratch and dust bathe. The chicken wire on the bottom prevents that

Why go inside to drop wheels I have seen some that do it outside and all four corners

Not sure why you put them on the inside and not the outside

Doesn't look like it works very well.

Birds craping on the whole setup. Move onto the outside or the rear
