The Chicken Tractor

Built a Chicken Tractor. Thought we'd grow us some chickens.

Got a plan to grow the vegetable starts for my sister's garden, and she (and her kids) will grow the chicken starts for us. Looking forward to fresh eggs!

    Black soldier fly larva will both greatly accelerate compost production and automatically feed you chooks 17% protein feed if you put a ramp in the bin.
    The larva instinctivley climb the ramp, and continually drop to feed the birds.

    Here's a blog link (with vid!)to one guy's diy bin.
    Most bins I've seen are much smaller, taking up a lot less space:
