What's a Chicken Tractor?

[SarahF]

A chicken tractor is a bottomless, portable pen that fits over your garden beds. Just set it wherever you need help in your garden.

The chickens peck and scratch the soil to clean your beds, eat pest bugs and weed seeds. Best of all, they provide eggs and meat with that old-fashioned flavor. Chicken tractors have helped thousands of gardeners have better gardens and taken chickens out of factory farms and put them in the garden where they are your personal helpers.

The benefits of a chicken tractor:

• its portable
• can be made to your own size requirements
• chickens will peck and scratch the ground to help cultivate the ground
• they will eat insects and weeds
• they provide free fertilizer
• they supply eggs
• you are able to vary the food source but will prevent them from eating the plants you want to keep.
