    I dont have plans but mine has a 2x4 base with a nesting box frame on the back. Main tractor is made from 3/4" PVC & hardware cloth. It also has two old lawn mower wheels to move it around. I can also put a tarp over it for shade .

    Just because we are peaceful does not mean we have forgotten how to be violent.

    I dont think that chickens could power a tractor. It would take way too many. Lol


    But for real,

    Maybe an A-Frame solid roof that is hinged at the top on both sides and can be lifted and propped open for light, but the sides of the roof create an overhang for the chickens.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
