6×12 Medium Chicken Tractor Plans For 10 Chickens

Are you a passionate bird lover looking for a truly mobile and functional chicken coop to kick-start the chicken-rearing hobby? This intricately designed chicken tractor comes with everything you need to give your flock a safe, healthy, and happy living space. It is complete with an aviary and a cage.

The 46.5 square feet wire-meshed aviary offers enough room for your birds to roam during the day, while the cage is a safe haven where the flock can take refuge at night. To make this structure a complete hen house, the interior is furnished with comfortable perches and nesting boxes, without which it would not be a coop.

When it comes to cleaning, both the coop and aviary are fitted with convenient doors, which offer access, allowing for easy cleaning and hassle-free egg harvesting. There is a dropping tray to hold the chickens’ droppings at night, making daily cleanup easy. The included 1′ 8″-sided square window keeps the interior illuminated, so the coop won’t feel cramped during cleanup.

Since chickens also need long light exposure to maintain peak egg production, the window plays an indispensable role in ensuring decent egg production.

Structurally, this chicken tractor is framed using pressure-treated lumber, which helps ensure structural integrity. The solid construction not only ensures performance and longevity but also helps keep predators away.

One aspect that makes this coop unique is mobility. It comes with two large wheels on one end and strong handles on the other end, which makes moving it super easy. The ability to move your coop can be helpful when you want to build a different structure where your coop sits.

For homeowners keen on aesthetics, you can paint or stain the coop’s wooden components to add interest to your backyard while matching the coop with other outbuildings.
