Mobile Chicken Tractor Ideas for Rotational Grazing - Seeking Advice

I love the idea! I'd recommend adding a bit of shade and some grass inside the tractor to help them feel more comfortable when out in the field.

You might want to consider making sure they're safe from things like hawks or dogs while they're in the pasture. A good enclosed tractor would be key!

That sounds like a fantastic setup! Rotating your chickens to new pastures is an excellent way to naturally fertilize the soil, reduce pests, and give them more space to forage. I think the idea of towing the tractor with your Can-Am is super convenient. The only thing I'd consider is the time and effort needed to load and unload them daily. If you're okay with that, I say go for it! You could also set up a simple ramp system that makes the process even smoother for both you and the chickens. Just ensure the tractor is well-secured to prevent predators from getting in, especially if you're in an area with wildlife that might be tempted by an easy meal. Overall, it seems like a great plan for both the chickens' health and the land's productivity!

A mobile tractor could be perfect for your setup, but it might take some time for the chickens to adjust to the routine of being moved daily.

I think it's a great idea! Chickens love variety, and the fresh pasture will do wonders for them. Just make sure the tractor is easy to move daily.

If you have the time, this sounds like a great way to manage both chickens and pasture health. Maybe have a backup plan if bad weather hits while they're in the field.
