Is a Cattle Panel Chicken Tractor a GOOD IDEA? YES or NO?

You can make a cattle panel chicken tractor... but can you move it? We decided to build and test one! I have ordered 65 more chicks which are due to arrive in the mail on Tuesday or Wednesday. To give us more space for birds, my sons and I built a chicken tractor from cattle panels. We used this design from the University of Kentucky: http://www2.ca.uky.edu/agcomm/pubs/AS... Unfortunately, it's very, very heavy. The original design says you can just drag the tractor with a piece of rope. We found that to be almost impossible, so I added wheels to the sides after building it. We have severe predator issues here, so we also added an additional layer of defense - a no-dig wire skirt, like so: https://www.backyardchickens.com/arti...

In other news, we're also fermenting chicken feed. So far, so good.
