Chicken Tractors

Check this out: I have been designing a chicken tractor - drawings & descriptions in my notebook - that allows me to move chickens around the yard. It keeps down weeds & bugs & distributes fertilizer while keeping the chickens secure & free-range happy. Imagine my surprise, when visiting the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe, in finding a luxury chicken tractor! This coop has everything: a second story with nesting boxes & roosts and a pull-down ladder for the chickens to descend to ground level. This thing is cool. www.backyardfarming.com calls it their Boughton Range.
