I got this idea from http://www.gardengirltv.com. I built a chicken tractor that fits on top of my raised beds. This is a small one. 4x4'. I have 4 small raised beds and four 14 week old pullets that my older flock barely tolerates so I am giving the little girls their own place. For this first raised bed tractor I used all recycled materials. Wood from an a wooden swing set we used to have, wood from my sons wooden bed that broke, 2x4s scraps from some home improvements, an extra bit of wooden dowel that was used for our closet.

I still need to put cut the hardware cloth and install doors. There will be 2 doors. I also need to cover the top. Right now I just have some scraps of plexi green house roofing stuff on it.

This shows the outside of it.
