This is my first chicken tractor. Kids wanted some chickens and wife heard about the tractor. Since I know very little about chickens, I tried to make something that made sense to me.
I make a floor-less roost because it seemed easier to clean up than one with a floor.
Made sloped floored egg boxes so that the eggs would be easier to get to and so the chickens would not step on the eggs.
Made it with tin since it seems like it would be lighter. Not sure if it would make it hotter though so I put a vent in the top.
Any chicken coop/tractor veterans have any advice?
