Hi, This is Justin Brock from the Red Bird Mission Grow Appalachia. This week I’ve been finish building,building new chicken tractors and nest boxes.
final touches
RBM GA Chicken Tractor
I figured me a way to put wheels on this chicken tractor. I went and got some 6″ mower wheels and some 3″ lag bolts. Measured so I had a 2″ gap from the ground, pre drilled the holes, put the lag through the hole in the wheel and put screw it it in. I put an extra board around the bottom to cover the gap to keep predators out. Then I had to figure out how to put a handle on it to pull it around. So I found an old strap I had, drilled me a couple holes, put the strap through, tied it on and I had a handle. It works great, you barely have to lift and its ready to roll.
