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 tough commercial aquaculture netting.  Our Chicken Tractor features 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.

The basic sturdy structure (Sonny) is five feet wide and six feet long aluminum square tube, raised by a vertical post on each corner to afford full use of every inch of the covered ground.  Recent design changes include 10-inch wheels for easier rolling and you can simply add a door in the roof if you want to reach inside.

The Happy Chicken Tractor comes in six-foot and 12-foot lengths and is less than half the cost 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.

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 guy in Amherst MA makes the nest boxes. A family-owned company in CT molds the 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 chickens, has been a big help in many ways. And thanks to the Western Mass Enterprise Fund for a micro loan And to all the people along the way who reserved the right to laugh and instead said, "Hey, that's a pretty good idea."  Call up and talk to me. -- Roy Nilson

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 protecting a small flock would add to quality of life and to the security of one family's food supply.

How did this all happen? When my son came home with chickens we got out the scrap lumber and the chicken wire and whacked together a moveable coop. It looked exactly like the junk it was made from and was pretty much too heavy to move around. That led to the Happy Chicken Tractor From Our Little Chicken Factory—it is light in weight, durable, and affordable. It looks OK. You can wheel it around and then stake it down so it won't blow away. It comes apart if you want to take it in for the winter. If you have any ideas for improving it, please let us know.
