Today I started building another chicken tractor. Or actually, this will be a duck tractor. My big muscovy drake picks on my chickens (my poor rooster is almost out of tail feathers) so I need to get him out of the pen. Instead, I'm going to put them in this tractor and put them out on pasture. But just the muscovies. The cayuga hens will stay in the pen with the chickens.
My tractor that the chicks are in is 6x6. This is 4x8. We'll see if this design is any better for moving around. I did get some wheels today for the 6x6 tractor though.
I also want to let the muscovies keep their eggs and see if they'll hatch me some babies.
I'm gonna have to finish it tomorrow though. I don't have enough wood to do a couple of slats on top. Which sucks because I already bought the wire. But I really don't feel like running back into town for the third time today. So the tractor will have to wait until tomorrow.
Not sure if I'm going to get a tarp for it like I have the other one. The ducks aren't going to be in there full time and will be able to roam around every day. But like most other things, I'll adjust as I go.
K, gonna go for now. Take care all and have a good day.
