Patent application pending

The Happy Chicken Tractor from our Little Chicken Factory comes to your house in a six-foot long shipping tube 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 mesh. You can cover it with plastic sheeting if you want to use it as a growing tunnel.  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 tube. 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.  We have added a half-width Garden Weeder model so you can get help weeding the garden. Other 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.

Options include full bottom netting, nesting boxes, feeder and waterer.

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.

Allow 14 days for shipping please. Prices may change without notice.

You can buy this item on-line, and the accessories,  by sending an e-mail to us HERE or you can call us at the factory at 978-724-6662 so that we can be certain to answer any questions and fill your order properly. If we aren't in, please leave us a way to call you back. If you get stuck while putting things together, don't hesitate to pick up the phone and call.

How did this all happen? When my son Roy came home last fall, two draft horses, two ponies, nine cows, a herd of goats, two dogs, two cats, two chickens, Bitsy and Roostie and four Muscovy ducks came along. MYDogRALPH is adjusting nicely, he seems to like chasing ducks and not catching them, thanks for asking. The neighbors? Not so much, but they’re OK, too.

So, back to our story. We got out the scrap lumber and the chicken wire and whacked together a moveable duck coop. It looks exactly like the junk it was made from. 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. More pictures as we get them.
