| These Chicken Tractors are built for Oklahoma, we have temperatures from 110 to -10 degrees. I have raised chickens and built their pens for 30 years. Unlike metal, wood keeps cool in the summer and warm in the winter, you must make sure it is sealed for it to last for years and look good. All animals must have a good amount of shade and you can’t always keep your pens under trees. So there must be a cover over most of their run. Also very important is the wire used in these pens, today’s poultry wire is so thin a dog or a large coon can rip it apart. I only use the 1”x 2” heavy 14 gauge steal wire that is used to make rabbit cages, for runs I use a 17 gauge hex wire, today's chicken wire is 20 gauge (the bigger the number the smaller the wire). No chicken wire or hardware cloth should ever be used near the ground. I know for a fact predators can rip it apart and kill the animals inside. The way you figure how many chickens you can put in a pen: Standard chickens need between 8 to 12 inches of roost per bird. If you have a 4 foot perch, the most birds that can roost is 6, and that is only the smaller layers. If you have real large birds you can only fit 4 birds if that. Birds need a covered run that is 4 to 8 square feet per bird, that is 2’x 2’ to 2’x 4’ per bird, also you need 1 nest for every 4 hens. Chickens must not be over crowed because they will kill each other, even if they have fresh grass everyday. |

| This 2 story coop is my design only, I didn't copy another design from someone else. If you see any others like it out there, they copied mine. After I built my first 2 story coop several years ago, I used it then I make improvements on it before building another one. This coop is great because it gives you twice the floor space. No crawling in a 4’ tall pen to get to an egg in the corner or to get to the feed pan, with the built-in feeder, just open the door and pour in the feed. The top door is big enough to lean into so you can reach everything in the top part, if a egg is laid in the bottom corner, just push the pen over the top of the egg and pick it up. With the wire bottom it stays cooler in the summer, when the cooler shaded air raises up into the top part and with the back window open it lets the heat out. Even in the winter it will stay warmer because you can shut the back window and keep the heat inside. If the temperatures gets to cold, just add a little hay on the wire and that will keep them warm, you can even hang a light from the top so they will lay all winter. With the wire bottom there is no cleaning the box, the poop just falls to the ground, you just have to move the pen over a few feet to new grass. With 4 tires, you just push it where you need to go, on even ground you can push it with one hand. I designed these pens to be very user friendly so anyone can use them. I don't take shortcuts when making these pens. I only use materials that will last for years. If you make it right the first time then there is no maintenance for years. I make each one as if I were keeping it myself. |
