4×8 Small Chicken Tractor Plans For 6 Chickens

Description

This 4×8 chicken tractor offers a versatile and mobile solution for your poultry needs, providing everything necessary for your birds to feed, roost, lay eggs, and enjoy some roaming space. It features a 4 x 4 run, perfectly accommodating a flock of up to 6 chickens. The hutch is elevated 1 foot above ground level, creating additional roaming space underneath and offering a sheltered area for the birds to escape from rain and sun. This elevation also serves as a precaution against flooding and water damage.

The design includes two doors – one leading to the aviary and the other to the hutch. This setup makes it easy to access the interior for cleaning purposes. A droppings pan is also incorporated, conveniently catching waste overnight or when the chickens are perched, thereby simplifying the cleaning process.

An interesting aspect of this coop is its protruding nesting box, which is divided into three sizable compartments, adequately serving the needs of the flock. The roof over these nesting boxes is designed to be flexible, facilitating easy cleaning and smooth egg collection.
