Chicken tractor construction
Today was a good day for working outside and
building the first stage of our newest chicken tractor or chicken ark
if you live in the United Kingdom.
I feel it's important to build the nest box first once you have the
frame together. Place it at least a foot above the ground with a big
enough hatch for easy egg access.
I've found that the more comfortable and closed in your nest box is the
less your hens are likely to lay an egg on the ground.
