Buying Guide
From fancy feeding stations to designer crate furniture, Peyton knows how to ensure comfort to your furry companion without compromising on the aesthetics of your home.
The concept of a chicken tractor was designed to keep chickens healthy and to reduce the cost of feed. Mobility separates chicken tractor kits from permanent chicken coop structures. The portability makes it possible to move your unit around your property. In addition to having fresh grass to eat, chickens will eat bugs that crawl and burrow in the soil. Droppings are left behind and your lawn is fertilized for healthier growth.
The materials used in chicken tractor kits that stand up to exterior elements include:
- Wood - Pine, Fir or Spruce are softwoods that are excellent for use for a chicken tractor. Manufacturers of kits use softwoods and treat with a sealant to prevent deterioration against inclement weather. Wood can also be painted to stay more durable.
- Metal - Galvanized aluminum stands up to a lot of abuse. It helps to insulate against the outside temperatures and has a long life. Popular for covering the interior coop. Galvanized wire protects chickens from predators.
- Plastic - Heavy plastic or PVC manufactured products keep the traveling coop lightweight for easy towing.
- Rubber - Optional, rubber wheels on a steel frame can be fitted beneath one end of the unit for rolling to another location.
Kits can be as simple or as decorative as you are looking for. Available in different colors to match a home or the landscape, coops can have natural wood, black metal or plastic or bright interesting painted surfaces. Simple, yet accommodating, a tilted roof that covers the nesting and roaming areas of the pen are popular. Pens do not have to use a hard cover over the roaming area and many models will wrap the galvanized wire across the top. Nesting bins are provided inside the enclosed coop with some having rooster bars as well. Having a window in the closed-in space gives better air circulation. Sloped and waterproof roofs protect water damage from interior bins.
Chicken tractor kits can be purchased in different sizes. 4 square feet per bird is recommended for any outside run. Interiors only require 2 square feet per bird. Popular kits measure 50" to 76" in total length. Widths run from 32" to 63" or larger. Popular chicken tractor kits are designed to house 2 to 8 chickens.
The interior coop needs to be maintained in order to keep it sanitary. A garden hose can remove most of the debris. Use a long stiff brush for breaking away dried on dirt, hose again and let it air dry. The same applies for the galvanized wire that covers the exterior roaming area. If Aspen shavings or hay has been used to line the coop's floor, change it regularly or whenever there is a foul odor noticed.
