What is a Chicken Tractor?

A chicken tractor is a movable coop designed to provide a safe and enriching environment for your flock while simultaneously improving your garden. Imagine a portable chicken coop on wheels – that's essentially what a chicken tractor is.  

How it Works:

• Mobile Home: Instead of a stationary coop, a chicken tractor is moved daily or every few days to a new location in your yard.  

• Natural Fertilizer: As the chickens scratch and peck within the tractor, they naturally fertilize the soil beneath.  

• Pest Control: Chickens are excellent at controlling garden pests like insects, slugs, and snails.  

• Weed Control: Their foraging helps to keep weeds in check.  

• Soil Aeration: The chickens' activity naturally aerates the soil, improving drainage and nutrient uptake for your plants.

Benefits of Using a Chicken Tractor:

• Healthy Chickens: Chickens kept in a tractor get plenty of sunshine, exercise, and fresh air, leading to healthier birds and more nutritious eggs.  

• Improved Garden: The tractor enriches the soil, suppresses weeds, and controls pests, resulting in a more productive and healthier garden.

• Reduced Labor: By moving the tractor, you eliminate the need for extensive tilling and fertilizing.

• Versatility: You can use the tractor to prepare areas for planting, fertilize existing beds, and even control pests in specific areas.  

• Easy Maintenance: Unlike a stationary coop, cleaning a chicken tractor is often simpler as you're moving it regularly.
