Moving chicken tractors (time lapse)

[@cuddleninja2978]

The comments on this video are as good as the video itself! How could anyone not vote this a thumbs up! Thank you for spreading chicken knowledge!

[@AmyUncensored71]

That was cute when the few chickens slipped out and you had to chase them down. Love the time lapse. My chicken tractor is definitely not this nice.

[@Jean-vz8co]

It is a very very good system.... evry days to have à new, fresh and clean ground!!!.. for chicken and rabitt... bravo (sorry my poor writting)...

[@dianerichardson-workingcla4013]

for some reason this video just made me smile. Thanks

[@FeelingShred]

Where do they go when they reach "the end of the race track"? Will you have to move them all the way to the start point? Or they move in circles like an 8?

[@StephenJelinek]

My guess it is harvest time when they get to the end.

[@kalinbankov9737]

Hello! If there are long periods of rain, for example 4-5 days, and the pasture is soaked, how do we keep the chickens from getting wet and sick while in the chicken tracktor? If we don't have a dry shed built nearby, is there a solution related to the construction of the chicken tracktor?

[@mattmarkowicz]

You were doin this b4 it was cool! Good music

[@Chris-it2dx]

How did all the chickens turn out? What weights did you getting on average? Did you make your own feed, or did you purchase commercial feed? Hope things went well for you, do you have plans for raising chickens in the future?

[@girlonlaptop]

he says his customers say they are the juiciest and best chickens they ever ate…i want to try them so bad!

[@major7160]

That's funny stuff, love the music, and chicken. You go man , do your thing.

[@godsloveministry4195]

Why the big poles? Lots of work if just for marking.

[@davecassiemaliar5747]

Are you finding you have to fertilize less after running them through? I had this same idea and there seems to be very few people tractoring chickens in a hop yard!

[@rbb7419]

What are the tall poles for?

[@eastrockaway11518]

Ross Breeden I’m thinking Hops

[@eastrockaway11518]

Hops?

[@shatanga]

I wish we could do it at home. We raise chickens too, would have space for tractors but our house is right by the road and everyone could see it. The only chance how to prevent robbers would be probably either photocamera or geese. They kinda make sound always when anyone comes.

[@jerrypeacock5166]

Big dog!!!

[@hybriteledlightech1492]

The chicken tractor is an interesting design.

[@WoodenBoatGuy]

Were the third and fourth ones empty?

[@stevenwieler2990]

Question. What are the poles for and what do you have planted between the the tractors?

[@2tommyrad]

They grow hops for beer and string the hop plants along wires or string. The poles are for support of the wires and hop plants.

[@BobbyFromNJ]

I'm 99% sure that's a hop farm.

[@johnnypea5369]

BobbyFromNJ more likely a tall pole farm! ;-)

[@davidbaldwin9830]

BobbyFromNJ I knew it... I brew beer.

[@tommyd3955]

I always wondered where telephone poles came from.

[@leonardomturczak8756]

Muy interesante, felicitaciones. Hasta que velocidad de viento tolera?

[@tylerharris6581]

Do they lay eggs inside the coops?

[@infadel13]

how often do you need to move the chickens so they dont kill your grass. also will it grow back like normal?

[@otonoton5464]

infadel13 this is not my video, but if not killed, the grass will grow back healthier. chickens eat almost all bugs and fertilize with poo poo

[@GriffenNaif]

Once per day. And if you don't get a lot of rain only over the same ground once per year.

[@SoutheastBluesMan]

Was that a cart-wheel at the end? Looked like it. Great video. Thanks

[@CiberWizZ]

how are you going to manage them in the winter? Regards

[@MrCoolbeanstogo]

what kind of grass do you grow for your chickens? which grass is higher in protein?

[@Woodbug-b7t]

Are the posts to deter raptors?

[@nathandcosta8502]

This method will work in rainy or winter season?

[@materialclassified]

Watched the shadows from the poles..Looks like 30mins to me.

[@valmira8379]

I loved it, Could by wheels in the houses?

[@AndAndmed]

how do you keep them safe during a big storm?

[@lul123]

so that's basically lawnmowers?

[@Mike2infinity]

After this vid, it’s super Mario run time!

[@emiliacachullani2685]

Hi, What happens to chickens in winter or when it rains?

[@tzoninghard2425]

The chickens have roof for the rain and chickens do great in the cold. These are meat burds so most people pause operations over winter as the feed to weight gain ratio is lower. Being meat birds they will only be around for less then 10 weeks. So if you are in a cold climate and the grass dies it might be better to just not raise them at that time.

[@emiliacachullani2685]

thanks!

[@1456Sassy]

How often do you move the chicken tractors?

[@wnburroughs4082]

That’s what I want to know

[@alexfaku8798]

get yourself a chicken caravan big guy!

[@jaimevega7340]

hi from Mexico excuse me, why do the farmers move the hen house with the hens within?

[@StephenJelinek]

I use tents with the floors cut out.

[@lm2193]

Smart, he is fertilising his land by moving the chicken tractors.

[@rayislooking2]

who plays the music kool.

[@agradina]

is that music made by chicken

[@abigailsoto9988]

One of the effective way to save money from buying an expensive pre-built chicken coops is to take full advantage of chicken coop pros, without try and fail like they used to!

[@abigailsoto9988]

+Abigail Soto You will find a powerful method to make your building super fast, super easy and super fun in as little as this weekend conducted by one of those pros here: great7.net/create-your-own-chicken-coop-xa0cbb

[@altha-rf1et]

ought to put wheels on the bottom

[@marbarnes7063]

That's what he was doing at the back of each one. You put the wheel on, move the tractor, take the wheels off to use on the next one. You have to take the wheels off so it sits flush with the ground to keep predators out and chickens in.

[@angkit216]

Love the science behind your way of raising your chickens bro. Question can this be applicable to rabbits thanks God bless

[@agargoyle12345]

I realize this is 2 years old but,... You can raise rabbits this way, but they're diggers, so you need slats or wire across the bottom, which then means the grass has to be short enough to stick up between.

[@ayhanarikk]

what did you do in the end? :D

[@petepuma69]

Hello, what is the recovery time in week that you can put the chicken tractor back on the same section of grass? meaning - how long until its self repaired

[@ethanwhite5646]

Healthiest time span between chicken contact is 90 days. To let the ground rest for 90 days is the key. You can adjust that in minor ways, but that is the number most run with so that the manuer has time to decompose properly.

[@chrisshepherd4228]

I like the one that almost got away lol

[@ordinarypete]

Musta got too busy..

[@DesertHavaGarden]

We like your videos, but it doesn't look like you have posted any since your baby was born. Congrats and please post more! ;)

[@farmerkhmer2021]

Good

[@princessorig1]

WHAT ARE THE POLES FOR?

[@Fish5919]

Poles are a people group that inhabit the part of eastern Europe between Germany and Russia. They are generally good for a number of things to include,...

[@yalapooruth]

Creative so well.

[@Minhinchickenfarm]

you are extraordinary

[@FoodCyclist]

Why thank you!

[@amourprofond5310]

une bonne technique

[@Justin-tb2qk]

Must have 900 bird

[@iwantosavemoney]

why a bunch of small tractors when you could a few big ones and saved on time labor may be material. their is a lot of waste material in these type of tractors no chicken is 5' tall the tractor could have been 25% bigger if it was just 2 foot tall. smarter not harder good video

[@bkaten466]

Try to walk through a 2 foot tall tractor without getting covered with crap.

[@TheHonestPeanut]

Reasons for human height structures are convenience of access and space for the birds. They may be flightless but that doesn't mean they don't flutter. A happy animal is a tasty animal.

[@iwantosavemoney]

have you seen the standard tractor the joel satin uses not sure if I spelled his name right but it makes since a structure fitting the animal would be much more economical having a 8 feet wall does not make for a happy bird what make you think that you speak chicken?

[@TheHonestPeanut]

Joel Salatin. I think you're referring to his rabbit mobiles? Those are about 2 feet tall. His chicken mobiles are built on massive hay trailers and house hundreds of birds with ample room. Chickens need some height to flutter around. They're "flightless" but they are still birds :)

[@iwantosavemoney]

no am talking about the meat chicken tractors not the egg layer mobiles. I have seen a video on it I will try and find it

[@victorybeginsinthegarden]

I was going to report this video as theft because I saw it on your other channel good think i looked at the next video and saw your face lol

[@hinhbuixuan6072]

not thing

[@Grizzydan]

So much lazy in the comment section. Chains, cables, pulleys, rope, all cost money.. lots of money to save you a half hour of work.. say goodbye to your profits. Get a real job guys! lol

[@altha-rf1et]

looks like most of the stuff a person can get for free curb sided or on the cheap. labor is free if you do it yourself,

[@2tommyrad]

Glen Duncan Labor is never free, even your own. Your time is worth money. You must factor in your time when selling your product or you are essentially working for free.

[@Grizzydan]

So throw all your money at it, that fixes everything. Labor isn't free, but it's a whole lot cheaper than being lazy.

[@altha-rf1et]

Labor is free when you do it yourself, and the money you make is profit

[@iwantosavemoney]

working smarter not harder is good for everyone

[@HelenEk7]

What are the tall poles for?
