We are so grateful Lisa that you shared our coop plans and love the way they turned out! Please don't ever hesitate to reach out with questions! -Kelsey
Kelsey Jorissen thanks! I know we will enjoy this coop for years to come!
Kelsey Jorissen how much do you think it would cost to buy all the materials and how long would it take to make it? This is something that I want.
@@ArmorsArrows Check out the link in the description notes.
@@ArmorsArrows I'm so glad you like them! Typically $300-$400. All the info you could ever want to know is on our website, scroll down to "Specs" and "FAQs" www.greenwillowhomestead.com/mobile-chicken-tractor-build-plans.html
What are the coop dimensions if I may ask?
There is nothing better than a fresh egg or a roasted homegrown chicken. That is a GREAT chicken coop for the warm seasons.
You have the ability to winterize it too.
We adopt our Chickens from a local animal shelter some maybe older but we get eggs everyday all year and they are always a calm friendly bird.
This is an excellent design!!! My dad made one out of metal when we lived on our orchard and it was great. He could move it around the rows of trees by hand, or hook it up to the tractor to move it a long way. I must say this design with the fancy ramp that keeps chickens up high is just so clever and I appreciate that so much!!
It really is a brilliant design and so easy to move the chickens around daily!
The best design I have seen after days of researching!
Champ! What more can I say?! Champ!
We also made this plan and we have our 13 chickens (lucky ladies I call them). I blame you. Haha
I love this you have inspired me to make my own videos
SewArty I have chickens, I hope to see your videos soon
Gaga James fantastic idea
I love my chickens good luck on your channrl
Great. It’s s fab video of chickens 🐓
We are so grateful to find this video. My husband and I recently bought 10 chicks from TSC and are currently building this coop. Such a great idea that doesn’t involve herding chickens all over the yard and out of neighbors yards. Thank you so much!
Being raised on a farm, we had the traditional chicken house but it was not portable. What a wonderful idea to be able to move the coop to fresh sites!
These are a great design for chickens if you can't let them out to roam around. My dad built a smaller version of this when I was a kid for our guinea pigs. We turned my daughter's old cubby into our chicken house. I built a ladder type perch and cut a whole in the side for the chickens to enter and we have a large run coming off the side. It also has sliding windows with perspex which I covered over with chicken wire so in summer they can be opened and shut in winter. My partner got large plastic drums which we use as nesting boxes as I can take them out and hose them to clean. We let our chickens out every day to roam around our yard as our dogs don't bother them. Our Border Collie just likes to round them up at night and get them back in their coop. It's great having fresh eggs 🍳. xx
Hi! We just got some Rio Poults ourself and I’m researching everyone’s coops before we start ours. Glad I found your channel! Nice To Meet You!
So I'm curious what you do in the winter for them when it's super cold and also...will you be harvesting the chickens themselves when they are older (not sure how old they live to)?
I wish i had a piece of land and live like this. I'm a very Urban city girl always lived in appartment buildings but I've always longed for that country lifestyle.
I should make a list of all the things you make me do. Just bought these plans. We have 15 chickens. Never thought I'd do this. Girl...what's next. List: home birth, cloth diapering, home renovation, cast iron skillet, sourdough starter, baby wearing (though I already had plans to do that. It wasn't all you), recipes, home made lotion, home made cleaners. I mean...how dare you save me money. You make it look so easy. Love you girl.
What a cute chicken coop. I would love to have chickens.
Your first homesteading video, love it! Good job on the chicken tractor.
I'm so glad I've found your channel!!!!
What a clever chicken coop design! Homesteading isn’t realistic for my life, but I love the idea. Returning to the way our parents or grandparents grew up (but with the modern conveniences!!!) definitely has perks.
Diana Jean it sure is! You can even pursue it on a really small scale.
Loved the coop!!! Thank you Lisa!!!
I enjoy this type of video. Would like to see you and Luke build more projects.
Such a fantastic home for the chickens it looks awesome
I love your chicken tractor! I wish we had more property.
You did such a great job! Your chickens will be very happy. 🐔
Mandy Regenold they’re going to love it a lot better than what they were in before. So much more room to explore!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TOO!
Love it! Maybe one of these days my family will raise chickens. Your tips will come in handy.
This is beautiful! We left the wheels off the front of ours too, just having them on the back seems to work well!!
Lisa hi! after a while beeing absent from your channel. i am soo sorprise your having a new baby😱😍😍. You ate an excelent mother. tbat care. the house is beautiful.
Would love to go to that conference someday!! Nice tractor!!
Wow! So excited for you that this is "checked off the list!" Congrats - that is HUGE! I will definitely save this for when I have my lil' patch of heaven and get outta the city and have my own chickens! Another great post, Lisa! Thanks, love! xoxo
Looks like a great design!
Cute chicken coop!! I love my chickens and the fresh eggs 🥚 they provide for my family!!! New subscriber and love your videos!!😊❤️
I went to Homesteaders of America last year! Super fun! I want to go again, but we have a conflict this year.
Good job on the coop. It looks great
Thanks so much! We are so glad to have it done!
I love this design, the only thing I would urge you to modify is the screen door. Don't get rid of it, but please change the screen for hardware cloth as predators would tear through that in a heartbeat and kill your entire flock. :( I would hate for that to happen to you, but other than that, I love this design! We are building a chicken tractor similar in style to this! :D Chickens are the best! ^_^
Our Organic Life yes good call! We started noticing that right away when we let our dog out. He still needs to get used to them.
Farmhouse on Boone dogs get so excited too lol we thankfully had the opportunity out to raise ours around our chickens so they aren’t anything new to them, lol I wish you the best with your flock! ^_^
Thank you for sharing this! I’m so excited for you and your family and your new home, and especially congratulations on the new baby on the way 💕
Charity Cupp thank you so much!
Love this video!!! Thank you :)
If you have a place to grow a cover crop my chickens LOVED hairy vetch. And it has beautiful purple flowers.
Great job!! Love your videos.
Evelyn Iagar thanks so much!
The design is ingenious!
It really does have all the bells and whistles! We love it.
Great coop 👍🏻
Very cool!
Like that coop.
How have your chickens done in the cold so far? Green Willow recommends this for 20 degrees or higher. We love the design but are in Ohio where it gets colder. One idea we had was to build a floor where the screen floor is in the coop. Insulate with shavings. ?
Do you still love your chicken tractor years later? Also can you show video of moving your tractor
We have such similar lives! 5 kids and on a farm :)
Happy chickens make happy eggs!
I miss have our girls 🐓 we had an ongoing poultry tick problem and just decided to stop keeping them.
Lisa, You should check out Jill Winger at the Prairie Homestead, she's been homesteading for 10 years & is a wealth of information. Her passion is sharing how she went from city living to homesteading in rural Wyoming.
I love Jill!
I'm in love with that chicken coop plan! I'll have to pin this for when we have more property!
Amy Fewell - The Fewell Homestead it’s perfect for relatively small spaces too!
Yay! Let me know if you have any questions at all about the building process! We love our build plans and hope you will love them too! -Kelsey
Awesome coop! I’m happy for you guys. I wish we could have chickens.
What do you feed your chicks besides grass? Love the coop!
Good morning!
Good morning Mary!
@@FarmhouseonBoone I am always happy to see your videos!
I love this coop. Will you have a permanent more insulated coop for your chickens during the wintertime?
Wondering this as well!
this coop looks so cool. How long did it take to build
How much did this coop cost you to make? Are you still happy with this style? How often do you move it? Do the chickens totally destroy the patch of grass?
Good video! When you will come with your kitchen renovation video? You said it will start on May 1st.. waiting to see your new kitchen!
Vanessa Vales it’s delayed quite a bit. Probably won’t have any vids on that until June.
Thanks!! waiting for your cooking videos😊❤️
Love the coop, but no chickys for me, bad allergy to feathers,
This is so cool! How long did it take to build?
Can you do an up date on the chicks and how they live
That’s so nifty
Could you do a video on recipes with the eggs? We currently have 7 hens for 4 adults, 1 kid, so about 50 eggs a week and we really don't know what to do with that amoun most of the time...
Ever used any of those chickens to be cooked?
Best plan ever... since you have the space. Fresh grass, bugs... BEST eggs EVER!!! ;)
e t yes! Can’t beat the eggs when they have access to bugs and grass!
You are so sweet! Thank for your kind words. We love our build plans and love hearing that others have benefited from them!
The coop looks great but are you going to use it during the winter? The open bottom won’t keep the chickens warm at night. Nice for the hot summers though!
Too much enclosment and insulation is horrible for chickens. You want go ventilation. Also have a cold hardy breed for cold areas is a good idea
How do you get rid of the flies that come?
Hey , nice tractor, what are the dimensions?
What will you do with them during the winter? Will they go in the barn? I’d love to have chickens but I worry about them during our Canadian winters in a hutch, we have a small property and no room for any insulated area 🙁
@ EmilyElizabethMusic, I can appreciate your desire, but at some point, we all WANT something we just shouldn't have... yet. Best to wait until you have an appropriate property, properly equipped to safely house your poultry and other livestock. It seems too many people impatiently "put the cart before the horse" and then end up having to learn the hard way... and often end up feeding their flock to the local predators, instead of collecting eggs.
R Foehn yes, unfortunately for us I don’t think a chicken coup will ever be a reality 🙁 A girl can dream!
How much does this cost to build yourself?
What do you feed your chickens?
linda serrano right now we are still doing an organic chick feed but will switch to organic laying feed, fresh grass/bugs and kitchen scraps.
What do you do with the chickens after 2 years with the chickens after they stop producing?
Heritage breeds lay longer than two years. Usually 3 to 4 years and will dwindle down to nothing by 7 to 8 years.
💝💝💝
How is this holding up?
Really really good!
Be sure to quarantine any new birds for an appropriate period BEFORE integrating them into your existing flock of young healthy birds. Better to be safe, than sorry.
How heavy is it? Is it easy to move by yourself without your husbands help?
Awesome video! This was really entertaining to watch! Keep doing what you’re doing! Thanks so much for sharing! Any support on my channel is appreciated! let’s stay connected! 😊
Do they not get to roam at all? My chickens love to run around our land. They interact with our horses and dogs and other birds. Seems like not enough space for them. What boring lives.
You need to teach your children how to handle chickens. They are living things. Really disgusting
Anything that begins "reached out" makes me want to puke. Spoke, called, wrote, phoned! If ever I reach out, it will be to strangle.
This is a bad design. No room for a roost, which the chickens must have. Please don’t build this coop.
