Chicken coop tractors also known as chicken arks are simply mobile chicken coops that can be moved around with convenience. In most cases there are wheels attached to the bottom so that the entire coop can easily be transferred from place to place. Portable coops are often used for pastured chickens. As these organic chickens require grass for nutrition the owner can then relocate the chicken coop tractor to a new stretch of land every week or so. Using this method the chickens would be able to feed on fresh patches of grass rather than the ones that have already been pecked at. The moving process is quick simple and requires minimal effort from the owner. If youre looking to buy or build a chicken coop tractor then youll definitely find that there are numerous chicken ark plans that are available.

Since it was an almost impossible task to actually lift up the coop with all its weight and relocate it elsewhere my father came up with the genius idea of installing wheels to the bottom of the chicken coop so that it would be easily rolled to any destination in our yard. This idea was such a success in our everyday chicken raising lifestyle that from that moment on every chicken coop we ever built was a moveable chicken coop.

Make sure you sketch out your coop on paper even if youre not an artist and cover every angle including a top view of the roof and a sketch of the inside. If this is your first time building a backyard chicken coop you shouldnt go for an architectural masterpiece but rather start out with a simple chicken coop first just big enough for your flock and as you gain experience then go for something of a greater scale. Before you build a backyard chicken coop make an effort to collect all the materials you will need so that you wont have to take unexpected trips to and from the hardware or lumber store. A good example of materials you will need are: wood (2 x 4) concrete cinder blocks chicken wire or fence wire insulation strips and ofcourse nails screws saw and hammer. While these are your most common materials only you
