Introducing the John Chook Chicken Tractor Range:

These chicken tractors are fully assembled and available only as 6.0 CP (Chicken Power) model. Cladding is all H3 treated weatherboard while the frame is H4 treated and coated with Cabbot's 'natural' decking stain for optimum durability in wet environments, and screwed construction with zinc-plated fasteners is used throughout. The large nestbox is fixed and easily accessed from the hinged end door for egg collection and cleaning, while a hinged roof panel (don't be fooled by the photos as we've updated the design) 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 when allowed. 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 6.0 Chicken Tractor Optional Extras:

 


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 ball-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
$ 40.00

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.
Extra Door
$ 40.00
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.
Feed Trough
$ 20.00
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.

Water Trough
$ 30.00

"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
