rain doesn’t pool on top? it looks top could turn into a little 3/4″ deep mosquito haven.? in your situation, i think a “coop” may be a more appropriate term. a “tractor” refers more to a movable unit allowing the chicks to eat primarily insects and grass/weeds, and moved up to twice daily so as not to noticeably damage the land. this does not really fit the bill for a tractor, but is a decent open-air summer coop.
ps. what hardiness zone are you in?
perfect video! I like your way? of making a tractor.
It’s a smooth transition from gardening to animal caging…?
Initially i thought you are building a tractor, but in the end i see a? cage.
I like your series of plants, gardening… I also enjoy this movie. Thank you for the? hard work.
Cool, it? takes lots of effort to create this 22 minutes long video. Thumbz up for you.
Easy to build. You do with a? lots of passion!!! Very good!
Love your videos
You got a new fan, Patti? 
Obviously, Patti so cute and sweet. A wonder girl? in youtube. If I hadn’t knew her channel, I would be a terrible gardener
at first I found a little strange, but after knowing how much work and effort you had put? in the video, I think you are a great artist. Keep on doing
thanks a lot.
I really like? this talented and interesting woman. Every video from her is special!
Thanks so much for sharing, Patti! I’m curious how many full grown chickens you put in an 8X4? tractor.
Thanks again! Please keep sharing, this is important stuff!
I love your gardening videos, but must admit I don’t like the tractor idea…. I’m not sure how happy those chickens are. I have 11 in 1/16 acre run and still think it’s not enough, once in a while I do open the gate and let them run free in my back yard (1/4 acre). They are so happy? then! Dash with lightining speed to roam free. I don’t think they’d be happy in a tiny cage (my coop is 8′x5′). I’m getting ready to buy few acres of land, then chicks will be truly freerange and HAPPY.

I just discovered your channel today and Im in love!!
Your videos speak to me. I currently live in Houston and am plannning to move back to the country in Jamaica. I just had a coop built there It is 300sq ft. but I love your tractor idea. I can do this also. Keep em coming and If you are ever in Portland, Jamaica,? look me up!!
How many chickens can you keep in a tractor this size? I saw that you have rabbits in? similar tractors. How many rabbits do you keep in one?
Thanks so much for sharing

Hello Patti. Just a tip.. If you pull that sleeve at the end of your drill bit over your screws, It will help you as it guides the screw straight in for you and? you won’t keep coming back to the same screw Nice vids, getting chickens soon… Thanks.
