We Keep
Your Backyard Chickens
Safer by Design

Safer day ranging. Use as a breeding enclosure. Acclimatize new hens. Keep your hens out of the flowerbeds. Harness the power of hens to prepare your garden spaces. Moves easily. Assembles with no tools. Durable welded aluminum construction. Entirely made in Massachusetts, USA. We built several coops with welded wire and found it to be an unfriendly material to work with. You can equip our coops with the wire panels of your choice. We are happy to ship our coop with no netting (save $50)
and you can attach your own choice of netting. Specify "frame only" when ordering.
Have you lost a Free-ranging hen or small flock to predators? Tell Us Your Story - We'll help by offering you a discount. All of our units include wood-framed door, a perch and Tag-Along Drinker (door and drinker are also sold separately). Hens are not expandable.

The Happy Chicken Tractor from our Little Chicken Factory comes to your house in a six-foot long shipping box and tips the UPS scale at a svelte 35 pounds. We are building to order and for inventory now.

It is covered with poly-coated American-made chicken wire. Order "frame only" and choose your own netting. The door is included. Our Chicken Tractor includes a shade and rain cover.  You can easily add a wood or metal roof. And remember, if you purchase the Small Unit, you can always double the size by adding
the
expansion unit
later on.

When you don’t need it, take it apart and store it back in the box. It is designed to come apart quickly and easily. Let your friends know you want one in our Gift Registry. Buy one for a friend who has chickens. Chicken tractors make great gifts. Order in time for Christmas delivery.

The basic sturdy structure (Sonny) is five feet wide and six feet long. The frame is made of aluminum square tube and our design affords full use of every inch of the covered ground. 

The Happy Chicken Tractor is less than half the cost (and weight) of many others.

We can supply feeders, nesting boxes and watering elements. But we suggest that you can get the same items easily from local sources and save a bit on price, on shipping and handling.  We added a roosting pole, but you can supply your own if you like.

End of Day Issues: Simply wheel the whole unit into the garage or barn (chickens and all) and close the door. Or, let the chickens out and shush them into their main coop for the night.

CHICKEN QUESTIONS?

We are pleased to work with churches, missions and other groups to offer discount pricing that may help deliver our project to places and people in the world where predators are a problem and protecting a small flock would add to quality of life and to the security of a family's food supply.

Let's be clear here. This whole thing is one man's idea carried out one step at a time. No big corporate stuff. No imports from China. Everything is made in America. Gregg helps with the welding. A small factory in Massachusetts does the sewing. Another supplies the cardboard boxes. A family-owned company in CT makes our wheels. Our "factory" is an idea, not a building. The internet is a big help. So is Pete, our grumpy UPS guy. Kate, who raises blue-ribbon Silkies, has been a big help in many ways. And especially to all our customers and to the people along the way who reserved the right to laugh out loud and instead said, "Hey, that's pretty cool."
