Chicken Tractor In Action

As you saw in my previous blog Building New Chicken Tractor, I have now put the chicken tractor into action.  15 layers are now “officially” producing free-range pasture-raised eggs.  Since I used metal panel as roof, the tractor is heavier than I have thought, but the 4-wheel design does help.

Most layers are using the roll-out nest box but a couple of them like to sneak under the coop and lay eggs on the pasture.  When we move the coop everyday, we always have the surprise to see 1 or 2 eggs in the grass.

Scratching the earth, nibbling the grass and chasing bugs.  Happy chickens!
Chicken manure is great for the pasture.
Eggs rolling out in the nest box.
Fresh egg is the best.
