RE: Chicken Tractor For The Homestead
Thank you! I have a serious problem with winged predators, more so than the 4 legged type. Tractors work great for protecting birds, but the work is much harder for daily chores. Your setup sounds excellent. I do a few different things around here to earn my keep. The main issue to making any transition is the ability to keep the bankers away.
I have paid off my land but we had a baby a little over a year ago and I am only 35 so I have not stashed away a large amount of money. Also buying land and building a homestead can be a little costly up front even though it will pay it all back in the end. Happy homesteading.
Thanks and same to you.
We have a serious aerial predator population here also. This is what we developed and it was endorsed by the local raptor rehab person. We call it the circus tent and have been using it for over 10 years with excellent results.
That's great. I had a large area covered as well. But I had to take it down to make repairs and haven't put it back up yet. I hope to do it this year.
This is totally portable, takes less than an hour once a week to move. We move it all season over the pastures. Here's a link to more info on it:
