Chicken Tractor Part 3

I worked on the chicken tractor a little more this evening. It now has a floor for the hen house. I raised the floor 12 inches off of the ground. That will give the birds a little more shade when they must be cooped up.

I scavenged all of the wood and wire for today's progress out of my scrap pile in the garage. But I have now hit the bottom of my stock. So next up, a trip to the hardware store. I have to buy something to make up the sides and back of the hen house.

Since it is warm here most of the year, I made the front of the hen house, inside the coop, with a wire front. I'll have a simple ramp going up to a doorway through the wire wall. If it does not give the chicks enough privacy to lay eggs, then I should be able to add a solid front at a later time.

For the record, I am now about 6 hours and $6 into the chicken tractor.
