How to Build a Chicken Tractor Using Free Pallets

Easy
This chicken tractor made from pallets is an easy project that took us only a couple hours. It didn't cost us anything because the pallets were free, and the chicken wire was left over from when I built my coop.
Luckily, our chickens still think it’s the bee’s knees!
A chicken run can be any size or shape, as long as it keeps your chickens safe from predators, can be moved, and has some way to provide them shade and water.

1. How big do you want your tractor to be?
2. Cut the wood to your desired length
4. Attach your chicken wire to the skeleton
Enjoyed the project?

Lauren Lagergren on Mar 31, 2015This reminds me of the Ingalls who would move their chicken house(?) around and I think it may have been something similar.
