Building the #stressfreechickentractor

This year I have plans to change focus from egg layers to meat birds. From the research I did, meat birds in a chicken tractor seemed like a lot less work than egg layers. A chicken tractor is a moveable chicken coop.

I purchased a book by John Suscovich that explained how to build a chicken tractor that he has worked with for several years. It seemed to work great for meat birds and was light enough for one person to manually move it. I purchased the book, ordered the supplies and here are some pictures showing the process.
