Finished Chicken Tractor

It's finished! Just for full disclosure, we were inspired by one of the Catawba ConvertiCoops designs. We were trying to stay "green" (read: cheap) and so used Heat Treated wood pallets.  I wasn't the one working with them, so I say they were worth the effort of pulling them apart and weeding through good wood vs not so good wood. Ask James, he might have a different answer. 

Garage/Workshop:

Added shingles for the "upstairs" roof:


Nest Boxes:
























Inside of the "upstairs":

Almost all done!
 


All done!  Time to move it to the backyard, and add chickens!

Wow, this looks great. James, you did such a good job; it looks professional. Love the shingles on sides/roof. Who knew chickens could be so much fun. Love, Mom
