Popular homesteading vlogger Justin Rhodes has been on a tour of American homesteads this month, and through his travels, he found this impressive $5 chicken tractor made by his friend, Ryan from Wholesome Roots.
I love seeing great, innovative, and frugal ideas for homesteading in general, but it seems people seem to get particularly innovative when it comes to housing and accommodating chickens! Just this week we shared our frugal chicken nest ideas, and I’ve actually found a few more since posting it.
This is a very clever little system for moving chickens around the homestead, which is a great way to ensure they’re doing their part, and also getting fresh ground to scratch and fertilize every day. Chickens like grains, but they really thrive on bugs and grass. There are lots of options for tractors, chicken runs, and mobile coops out there, but if you can’t afford a fancy system, you’ll love this clever and simple tractor.
Check it out, and be sure to follow Rhode’s homestead tour, it has been really fun and cool to see so many homesteads across the country!
