"The coop is working out well, our chickens have slowly got used to the change in design and now 3 out of 4 of them find their perches at night, they've also learnt to lay in the nest box. We've had very complimentary comments about the look of it from friends calling in, and it's great that we don't have to let the chickens out first thing in the morning as they have space to wander. Looking forward to trying it out on some of the beds in the veggie patch." -- Fiona, Wanaka
"I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the Massey Featherson 6...We are now getting 5 eggs a day and the chickens seem very contented. They settled in straight away. The slatted floor is working out really well. To start with we put the chickens over the vege garden, then the front lawn. My husband is all keen to try them out on the grass grub patches around the farm." -- Jane, Pukerau

Introducing the John Chook Chicken Tractor Range:

 The large nestbox is fixed and easily accessed from the hinged end door for egg collection and cleaning, while a hinged roof panel allows for more entensive access on the odd occasion when it is required. The lower sliding door at one end provides ground level feed access and also allows entry and exit for the hens. This sturdy hen house can be used as a stationary chicken coop for free-ranging chooks as well.  As this coop features an inclined perch it does not come with a removable floor option.

The John Chook Chicken Tractor Optional Extras:

 


You don't have to add a finish if you prefer to do it yourself. But don't even think about not sealing the panelling against the elements here, even tanalized panels will not last long unprotected. We use Cabot's Decking stains; make your choice of scheme below. If you have a colour in mind we do not offer, be sure to let us know and we'll see what we can do.

Wheel150 If there is any option for the chicken tractor you should get, two wheels is it. What good is a tractor without any wheels? These plain-bearing wheels let you easily lift one end to roll the tractor around like a wheelbarrow...without them you really want two people to make a move. Highly recommended if you want your tractor to be truly mobile.

Two Wheels, Longitudinal

SlidingDoor150 If you are planning on adding an extra run at some point and want the flexibility of access at both ends of your tractor, you have the option of an additional sliding door.

FeedTrough150 Our feed troughs are basically a piece of PVC pipe; if you're handy you can make one of these yourself. A movable coop isn't much good if you have the incovenience of a separate feeding trough, and I say that from experience! Located along the sliding door, it is covered from the elements and close enough to the side that the chickens have a hard time getting on top of it. This translates into less contamination and waste.

WaterTrough150 Same again with the watering trough. Strategically located under the eave of the the roof, it collects at least some of the rainwater runoff meaning you don't have to fill it manually yourself quite as often and the chickens still get the freshest water around. If it needs cleaning, just take a garden hose to it on jet setting occasionally.

"...am really happy with the coop. I especially like the fact that the door hinges down. This works well for us. Absolutely brilliant that we can simply wheel it to another position. Side door works well as does the door for the nesting box. Hens were used to being in a rabbit style coop and this is just so much of an improvement. Good to know that stoats, ferrets, weasels cannot get them. I know they are totally safe." -- Glennis, Gore
"Your chicken coops are very strongly built and user friendly..." -- Barbs, Heriot
