- Chickens can graze and still be protected from predators.
- You can control where your chickens are grazing.
- Your chickens will dig and scratch up areas you choose, working their poop into the ground in the process, which is basically free nitrogen fertilizer!
- You don’t have to clean a coop!

[…] The base frame of this DIY chicken tractor is made using 2×4’s. The cattle panel is arched from the inside from one end to the other and secured with staples. After attaching the cattle panel, you can secure the whole thing with chicken wire. longbournfarm […]
Carrie says
How big is the base? How tall is it? How many chickens does it hold?
Alli says
4×8 base, 2.5 ft tall but we just built it out of scrap. You can make it however large or small you want. That size is good for 2-3 chickens.
Susan says
Great idea! I am also a scrapper. Lol
Just curious, is that one panel?
Alli says
Hi Susan! Yes, that is one panel.
Buffy says
It is basic chicken math! Coop looks good!
